Offer withholding choice to Iowans
Des Moines Iowa Gov Harold E Hughes announced that employers will have multiple methods to withhold state income tax under the new system. The Iowa Tax Commission will select options including withholding a percentage of federal tax, tax tables, and computer formulas.
