SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES -
§.?EL1E§’,... 1937 EXTRA COMPENSATION
Dear Sir:
The total amount of 1937 Extra Compensation payable to
employees, whether left on deposit or taken in cash, must be
considered as October 1937 wages and as such it is subject to
Social Security taxes and Federal and State income taxes.
You have already been instructed as to the accounting
for 1937 Extra Compensation, and this letter will be confined
to instructions governing the reporting for Social Security
taxes in connection therewith.
In our letter of October 20, 1937 we requested and out-
lined special statements for reporting ”Extra Credits - 1936
Extra Compensation" for Social Security tax purposes. You will
also be required to prepare similar statements for 1937 Extra
Compensation.
You are already familiar with statements of this kind,
and instead of repeating instructions given in our letter of
October 20, 1937 mentioned above, we shall enumerate the changes
which will be necessary to adapt the models given in that letter
to meet the requirements for reporting 1937 Extra Compensation.
1. Change the heading of both statements to show that
they relate to 1937 Extra Compensation.
2. Change the word "credits” in the various deduction
items to read ”Amounts Payab1e."
3. Deduction No. 2, ”Credits to Pensioners" will be
omitted from both statements for 1937 Extra Compen-
sation. If a payment is made to a pensioner who
retired at age 65, his payment will of course be
excluded on the Federal Old Age Benefit statement
because of his having attained that age, but pay-
ment to such an employee is taxable under Unemploy-
ment Insurance laws, regardless of his age. Also,
payments made to pensioners who have not yet attained
age 65 at October 31, 1937 are taxable for both pur-
poses.
Page #2 October 26, 1937 ,
For the purpose of these statements, all 1937 Extra.
Compensation to employees, whether on the "active" or the
”1nact1ve" list, will be reported in one total. The copy of
these lists of employees will carry the supporting detail for
these statements and should be preserved for use in case of
Federal or State audits.
Very truly yours,
‘ WISICONSIN STEIll.V.C`OMPANY

Under the terms of the Temporary Extra Compensation Plan of 1937 you are entitled to receivevthe amount shown in column No. 1. The
Social Security Act and Laws of some States require deductions for Federal Old Age Benefits and Linemployment Insurance respectively. The
amounts, if any, shown in columns 1\os. 2 and 3 are the amounts which we must deduct for these purposes. You are privileged to withdraw all or
part of the amount shown m_ column No. 4. O
Please insert in coluinn l\o. 5 the amount you wish to leave on deposit, and in column l\o. 6 the amount you desire to withdraw. and sign this
form on the line provided above. Additional amounts may bc withdrawn at any time, but any amounts withdrawn cannot be re(leposit.e1U'a11 cmzoms
1956 AUD 1957 nXTRA COLrENSATDl?
Under the terms of the 1957 hxtra Compensation Plan, employees
are entitled to additional credit of 5f on that portion of their extra com-
pensation which remains on deposit as of October 51, 1958. Furthermore, in
accordance with Hr. NcAl1ister’s letter of Septenmer 15, 1958, employees
who since hay l, 1958 have been laid off or whose working hours were reduced
to less than four days per week, either temporarily or continuously, and who,
after such lay-off or reduction in hours withdrew any part of the money left
by them on deposit, are also entitled to the credit on the amount withdrawn
on the basis of 5f per annum from hovermer 1, 1957 to date of withdrawal.
These credits, with certain exceptions as hereafter explained, constitute
remuneration (wages) to employees and are subject to Federal Old Age Bene-
fits Tax and Federal and State Unemployment Insurance Taxes. The credits
must be included in employees' earnings reported on quarterly information
returns for pay roll taxes and included in employees' earnings reported to
Federal government for income taxes (also to states having income tax laws)
at end of calendar year.
We are enclosing statements, form A-QO5-A, in triplicate covering
credits due employees at your location as of October 51, 1958; also one copy
only of a memorandum covering 1958 credits paid to employees laid off since
Nay l, 1958 who have withdrawn their entire amount of extra compensation.
The forms A-LO5-A are being distributed to Works according to
employees' location of employment on October 51, 1957. lf in the meantime ‘
any employees have been transferred to another Works, Branch House, or to
the General Office, you will forward immediately all copies of forms A-QO5-A
for such employees to such changed location. Memorandum, however, must be
made of the emp1oyoe's name and the amount shown in column (2) of such forms,
also location to which it is forwarded. This information will be required
for reconciliation as hereinafter explained. lf any employees have been
transferred to your Works since October 1957, ascertain from those employees
whether they have any extra compensation on deposit, and if forms A-QO5-A
covering their credits are not received within reasonable time, communicate
promptly with the location from which employee was transferred.
Examine forms A-hO5—A carefully for amounts shown in columns Q
and 5 (5 - New Orleans only) representing employees' contributions for A
Federal O.h.B. and btate Unemployment Taxes. lf such taxes do not apply,
or if no amount is shown in column 5, and employee is subject to employces'
contributions for State Unemployment Taxes, make correction in ink by draw-
ing line through amount shown and inserting corrected amount in columns Q,
5 and 6.
Please understand that taxes, if applicable, (columns h and 5,
forms A-QO5-Al are computed only on amount in column 2 and not on total in
column 5. ln determining whether employees’ contributions are required for
these-taxes, be guided as follows:
..2..
Any portion of the 1958 credit on extra compensation which is in
excess of $5,ooo of employee’s earnings in calendar year and 1958 credits to
employees who attained age of 65 on or before October 51, 1958 are exempt
from Federal O.A.B. Tax.
Deductions for State Tax in column 5 will apply only to employees
classified under the State of Louisiana.
Credits to beneficiaries of deceased former employees, to pension-
ers, regardless of age, pensioned prior to November 1, 1957, and to individu-
als not employed since October 51, 195Y, are not subject to Federal O.A.B.
nor to Federal or State Unemployment Taxes.
Credits to pensioners who had not attained age 65 by October 51,
1958, pensioned subsequent to October 51, 195Y and to individuals employed
some time in 1955, but not employed on October 51, 1958 are subject to Federal
O.A.B. and to Federal and State Unemployment Taxes.
Credits to pensioners who attained age 65 prior to October 51, 1958,
pensioned subsequent to October 51, 195T are subject to Federal Unemployment
and State Unemployment Taxes, but are not subject to Federal O.L.B. Tax.
Information in columns (7) and (B} will be inserted by department
timekeepers on instructions of employees whom they will canvass. Duplicates A
and triplicates of form A-hO§-A should be produced by the use of carbons at
the time original is made. Then discussing disposition of extra credit with
employees, the timekecper will call their attention to the further credit of
5% on amount (column 6, form.n-QO5-A) which the Company will add if carried
on deposit for another year, i.e., until october 51, 1959. he will also re-
mind them that if subsequent to october 51, 1953 they are laid off or are
reduced to a work week of less than four days, they will be allowed 5f credit
on any amount left on deposit from hovenmer 1, 195b to the date of withdrawal.
lf an employee indicates on his Form A-QO5-A that he wishes to withdraw all
or part of the extra compensation due him, and he is laid off or is working
less than four days per week, please make a notation to that effect on his
form A-QO5-A.
nach employee must sign the original of his completed form A-QO5-A.
Accounts of employees who have died prior to lovember 1, 1958 must
be closed as of October 51, 1958. No further credit will be allowed beyond
this date.
The account of any employee dying subsequent to october 51, 1958
may be carried to october 51, 1959 and receive 5f additional credit,
lf estates are probated, it will be necessary to furnish the Treasury
Department with certified copy of Letters Testamentary or Administration.
Auditors are requested to handle this work with dispatch. Original
forms completed and signed by employees are to be forwarded by the Auditor not
later than November 1O in a sealed package addressed to the Treasury Depart-
ment, General Office, attention of F, L. Steuert. Duplicate is to be piven to
employee, and triplicate is to be retained by the auditor.

In order to make the proper return for the Company*s contributions
for F.b.a.B. and Unemployment Insurance taxes, you will yrepare in triplicate
special statements for this additional credit modeled after the regular month-
ly statement submitted for Social Security tax purposes. The statements must
include the sum of the additional credits shown in column {2) of forms A-QOB-A
as well as the sum of the additional credits shown on the special memorandum
covering special credits per Mr. McAllister's letter of September l5, 1958.

fice and the triplicate retained in your files. For your guidance we are il—
