More Arkansas employers must file withholding online
For tax years beginning January 1, 2025, or later, Arkansas lowers its annual withholding statement online-filing threshold from 125 employees to 75. This threshold counts employees during the employer's income year. For tax years beginning January 1, 2026, or later, employers covered by that requirement must also file withholding returns online. Payroll services that report and send withholding taxes for those employers must also file those returns online. The secretary may waive the return-filing requirement when an employer applies and shows that online filing causes undue hardship.
