Arizona has state income tax withholding that is a percentage of the
federal tax. Employees can choose among several
different percentages on their A-4 Form.
Percentage rates changed in 2010 (there have been 4 percentage changes
in the past 20 years). The Arizona withholding
tables also changed, as they do every year,
since they are based on the federal rates.

federal payroll tax tables in our payroll software.
