2.11 Back-up Withholding Tax in Certificate of Deposits
This topic describes the processing of back-up withholding tax in Certificate of Deposits.
If a bank customer is a taxpayer receiving certain types of income payments, the IRS requires the payer of these payments to report them on an information return. The person or business (bank) paying the customer doesn’t generally withhold taxes from these types of payments, as it is assumed the customer will report and pay taxes on this income when they file their federal income tax return.
- Under the BWH-B program because the customer failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to the bank for reporting on the required information return.
- Under the BWH-C program because the customer failed to report or underreported interest and dividend income they received on their federal income tax return.
- Customer wants the bank to voluntarily deduct the backup withholding tax on interest payments. The rate of deduction can be any value as required by the bank customer.
Note:
The marking of the related accounts of a customer as applicable for BWH Tax, will be done basis an event from Oracle Banking Party Services. Wherein when a customer is identified as applicable for BWH Tax/ the customer has opted for voluntary deduction of BWH Tax, then it is expected that Oracle Banking Party Services will publish an event which will be consumed by Oracle Banking Accounts for marking and deducting the BWH Tax for the customer.Note:
