Federal Income Tax Withholding
General Information: As an employer, UTSA is a withholding agent for Federal Income tax to the IRS. Form W-4 must be completed by each UTSA employee in order for the Payroll Office to determine how much income tax to withhold from each paycheck.
Per IRS regulations, if a W-4 is not completed in a timely manner, completed incorrectly, or altered to which it is invalidated, the Allowance will be defaulted with Single filing status with zero (0) allowances, until a valid W-4 is submitted.
Alert: Mid-year Change in Income Tax Withholding American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Making Work Pay provision provides a refundable tax credit up to $400 for Single tax payers and $800 for Married tax payers filing a joint income tax return. You will receive the credit through your paycheck as an automatic change in your federal income tax withholding amount effective April 1, 2009 as reflected in the tables below. The tax credit will phase out for tax payers with an adjusted gross income in excess of $75,000 for Single and $150,000 for married couples. Employees with more than one job or married couples whose combine income places them in a higher tax bracket may want to submit a revised Form W-4 to ensure enough income tax withholding is deducted. You may want either reduce the number of allowances on line 5or request additional amounts to be withheld on line 6.
