Tax Status:

How do I change my tax status?

You will need to complete a W4, Employees Withholding Allowance Certificate.  Return the bottom portion of the form to the Payroll Office.  Forms are available on the Business Services Website in the Payroll section, in the Human Resources Office, or in the Payroll Office.  Most school offices have a supply as well.

How do I know what my current status is?

Your current status prints on each earnings statement in the upper right-hand corner.  If you do not have a statement, call the Payroll Office for this information at 410-996-5417 or5418.

What do I need to do to have additional tax withheld?

Line 6 of the W-4 form allows a dollar amount to be specified to be withheld each pay.  If you currently have an additional dollar amount and wish to increase/decrease the amount, you must put the total dollar amount you want withheld on Line 6.

How do I know how much to have withheld?

Unfortunately, we cannot advise you as to the correct amount to have withheld.  However, we can provide limited information concerning the effect of a change.
