Arizona has state income tax withholding that is a percentage of the
federal tax. Employees can choose between six different percentages on
their A-4 Form.
Percentage rates did not change in 2008 (there have been 3 changes in
the past 16 years). However the Arizona withholding
tables changed, as they do every year, since
they are based on the federal rates.

federal payroll tax tables in our payroll software.
