The Payroll Department would like to remind all employees to submit a new Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Certificate, if your filing status, other income, deductions, or credits have changed or will change for the next year. Also, employees should submit a new Form W-4 if they made a mid-year change based on their use of the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator available at IRS.gov/W4App. These mid-year changes may under or over withhold for the next full calendar year.
Even though the IRS does not require all employees to complete a new Form W-4 and even if your tax situation has not changed, we recommend you perform a “paycheck checkup” to see if you need to make any adjustments to your current withholding.
Please note: if you do not submit a new form, withholding will continue based on your previously submitted form, unless you are claiming exempt. If you have been claiming exempt, you must file a new W-4 at the beginning of the year by February 15, 2025 in order to maintain exempt status.
The IRS has also published General FAQs that you may find helpful as you complete the form at irs.gov/newsroom/faqs-on-the-2020-form-w-4. W-4 forms can be filed at any time in the Payroll Department and are available on IRS.gov or the Payroll Department website.
