Wages and Income Tax Witholding

As an employer, the University is also responsible for the employment-related tax withholding and reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities.

New Job

Your employer will ask you to complete a Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. Complete it accurately to figure the amount of federal income tax to withhold from your paychecks.

Life Event

Change your Form W-4 when certain life events take place. A change in marital status, birth of a child, getting or losing a job, or purchasing a home, for example, can all change the amount of taxes you owe. You can typically submit a new Form W–4 anytime.
