General Information
All entities that are required to withhold Utah state income tax or mineral production tax,
must provide the Tax Commission with an annual report (Form TC-96R) summarizing the
payments made to the Tax Commission. This report must be reconciled with the employees’

ing this information to the Utah State Tax Commission.
Filing Deadline
The required information must be submitted by February 28 of the next calendar year or the
next working day if the 28th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday.
To request an extension of time for the filing of withholding tax information, you must pro-
vide the Tax Commission with a written request explaining the reason(s) an extension of

TC-96R. Complete copies of the recipients’ 1099-R forms must be attached. Forms 1099-R

not available.
