Sec. 61.
(1) An employer shall file with the city or the department a reconciliation of quarterly returns on or before the last day of February following each calendar year in which the employer has withheld from an employee's compensation. A deficiency is due when the reconciliation is filed. If the employer made monthly or quarterly or both, payments in excess of the amount withheld from an employee's compensation, the city or the department upon proper verification shall refund the excess to the employer.
(2) In addition to the reconciliation the employer shall file with the city or the department an information return for each employee from whom the city income tax has been withheld and each employee subject to withholding under this ordinance, setting forth his or her name, address and social security number, the total amount of compensation paid him or her during the year, and the amount of city income tax withheld from him or her. The information return shall be on a copy of the federal W-2 form or on a form furnished or approved by the city or the department. A copy of the information return shall be furnished to the employee.
(3) Except as provided in subsection (4), if an employer goes out of business or otherwise ceases to be an employer, reconciliation forms and the information return forms shall be filed with the city by the date the final withholding return and payment are due.
(4) For tax years after the 1996 tax year and for which a city has entered into an agreement pursuant to section 9 of chapter 1, if an employer goes out of business or otherwise ceases to be an employer, reconciliation forms and the information return forms shall be filed with the department within 30 days after the employer goes out of business or ceases to be an employer.
