Each return shall be signed by or for the employer required to deduct and withhold the tax under this article and shall contain or be verified by a written declaration that the return is made under the penalties for false swearing. The return shall be signed and verified by the employer, by a person having control of the payment of wages for the employer, or by a person authorized to make the return for the employer. The fact that a name appears to be signed to a return shall be prima-facie evidence that the name was actually signed by the person named. The fact that a person appears to have signed for an employer shall be prima-facie evidence that the person was authorized to sign for the employer.
