ACCOUNTS PAYABLE:

Immediately

As always, Accounting needs “verification” of receipt of goods or services immediately after delivery.  What constitutes a “verification” is: 1) a PO#, 2) a signature, 3) a date, and 4) an indication whether Accounting should keep the PO open (the PO has only partially been filled) or close the PO (all items received in full). The “verification” can be done on a packing slip, a copy of the PO, or a copy of the invoice.

Summer Product Received at Traditional Elementary Schools:

Purchased items being delivered by vendors and received at schools over the summer break must remain in a designated holding area. When staff returns they can account for the items properly, verify and submit the proper paperwork in a timely manner to the Accounting Department. This will help eliminate confusion between the schools and vendors on the whereabouts of items delivered.

The Jordan School District Payroll Department encourages everyone to use the IRS' Withholding Calculator to perform a quick “paycheck checkup.” This is even more important this year because of recent changes to the tax law for 2018.

The Calculator helps you identify your tax withholding to make sure you have the right amount of tax withheld from your paycheck at work.

There are several reasons to check your withholding:

  • Checking your withholding can help protect against having too little tax withheld and facing an unexpected tax bill or penalty at tax time next year.
  • With the average refund topping $2,800, you may prefer to have less tax withheld up front and receive more in your paychecks.

If you are an employee, the Withholding Calculator helps you determine whether you need to give your employer a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. You can use your results from the Calculator to help fill out the form and adjust your income tax withholding.

To access the IRS Withholding Calculator or for more information on tax withholdings follow this link.

Graphic of dollar signThe IRS said it expects to issue initial guidance on new withholding tables for payroll systems in January 2018, "which would allow taxpayers to begin seeing the benefits of the change as early as February."

Many employees may need to file new W-4 forms, but it isn’t clear when new ones will be ready.

"We are taking the initial steps to prepare guidance on withholding for 2018," the IRS said in a statement shortly before the congressional vote. The IRS also said it "will be working closely with the nation's payroll and tax professional community during this process." The IRS encourages wage earners to review their tax withholdings.

"By adjusting the Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, taxpayers can ensure that the right amount is taken out of their pay throughout the year," the IRS advised. "Having the correct amount withheld from paychecks helps to ensure that taxpayers don't pay too much tax during the year—and that they have money upfront rather than waiting for a bigger refund after filing their tax return."

Please mail your adjusted W-4 form to Payroll through the U.S. Postal Service or drop it off in person to the Payroll Department at the District Office.

The level of income that is subject to a higher tax bracket also can influence a number of decisions by employees, including how much salary to defer into retirement savings plan. __________________________________________________________________________________ Retirement Savings Plan Annual Contribution Limits
