* Punctuation such as a period, comma, dash, colon, parenthesis, slash, etc., may not be used in the reproduction of withholding tax coupons. When there is an apostrophe in the name, leave it out and do not add a space. If there is a hyphen in the name, substitute it with a space. Abbreviations, numerals, plus sign, and dollar sign may be used only if part of legal name. If a name contains the numeric zero or the alphabetic "o", the appropriate character must be used. If a name begins with the word "The", move it to the end of name or delete. Individual owners use last name first.
