Withholding Allowance Certificates

The following forms allow employees to setup or adjust their tax withholding status properly:

• W-4 form   - Ensures the correct amount of federal income tax is withheld from your paycheck.
• W-5 form   - Used when you would like to be paid your earned income credit (EIC) in advance. Eligibility requirements are included in the instructions.
• IT-2104 form   - Ensures the right amount of state tax is withheld from your paycheck.
• IT-2104-E form   - Used to claim exemption from federal withholding taxes (submission of a W-4 form that also reflects an status of exempt is required).

 IMPORTANT: All submitted forms must be filled out completely, signed and dated! Incomplete forms submitted to the Payroll Office will be rejected, requiring submission of a new form.

 NOTE: If you require assistance beyond the provided instructions, contact your unit's payroll representative or the Payroll Office at 377 Pine Tree Road (behind the East Hill P&C), (607) 255-5194.
