Nonwage income. If you have a large amount of nonwage income, such as interest or dividends, consider making estimated tax payments using Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. Otherwise, you may owe additional tax. If you have pension or annuity income, see Pub. 505 to find out if you should adjust your withholding on Form W-4 or W-4P.

Purpose. Complete Form W-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay. Consider completing a new Form W-4 each year and when your personal or financial situation changes.

Basic instructions. If you aren't exempt, complete the Personal Allowances Worksheet below. The worksheets on page 2 further adjust your withholding allowances based on itemized deductions, certain credits, adjustments to income, or two-earners/multiple jobs situations. Two earners or multiple jobs. If you have a

working spouse or more than one job, figure the total number of allowances you are entitled to claim on all jobs using worksheets from·only one Form W-4.

Exemption from withholding. If you are exempt, complete only lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 and sign the form to validate it. Your exemption for 2017 expires February 15, 2018. See Pub. 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.

Complete all worksheets that apply. However, you may claim fewer (or zero) allowances. For regular wages, withholding must be based on allowances you claimed and may not be a flat amount or percentage of wages.

Note: If another person can claim you as a dependent on his or her tax return, you can't claim exemption from withholding if your total income exceeds $1,050 and includes more than $350 of unearned income (for example, interest and dividends).

Head of household. Generally, you can claim head of household filing status on your tax return only if you are unmarried and pay more than 50% of the costs of keeping up a home for yourself and your dependent(s) or other qualifying individuals. See Pub. 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information, for information.

Guide to Tax Exemptions Based on Age, Student Status, and Family Relationship Employee Copy – Keep for your records

Employees providing domestic services such as personal assistance may be exempt from paying certain federal and state taxes based on the employee’s age, student status or family relationship to the employer. In some cases, the employer may also be exempt from paying certain taxes based on the employee’s status. IMPORTANT: Please see IRS Publication: #926 – Household Employer’s Tax Guide, and IRS website article: “Foreign Student Liability for Social Security and Medicare Taxes” for additional information.

IMPORTANT: • These exemptions are not optional. If the employee and employer qualify for these tax exemptions they must

be taken. • If the employee’s earnings are exempt from these taxes, the employee may not qualify for the related benefits,

such as retirement benefits and unemployment compensation. • The questions regarding family relationship refer to the relationship between the employee and the employer of

record (common law employer). In some cases, the program participant is the employer of record. In other cases, the employer of record may be someone other than the program participant. Check program rules.

• Program rules may prohibit some types of employees. For example, most Medicaid-funded programs do notpermit a spouse to be paid as an employee for providing services to a spouse. Check program rules.

• PCG Public Partnerships will determine the tax exemptions that apply to the employee and employer based onthe information provided by the employee. PCG Public Partnerships cannot provide tax advice.

Direct Deposit, also known as Electronic Funds Transmission (EFT), is the fastest and safest way to receive your paycheck from PPL on behalf of your employer. Your payment can be deposited directly into your checking account, savings account, or to a pay card of your choice. To sign up, review the steps below and complete the Direct Deposit application.

1. Meet Direct Deposit Requirements Complete the Direct Deposit Application. Agree to immediately notify PPL in writing if you change your bank, account number, account

type, ABA routing number, or contact information. You may need to submit a new Direct DepositApplication form. Failure to comply with this may result in delay of payment.

2. Go Green – Paperless Remittance Advice

In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, Public Partnerships, LLC has undertaken a ‘Go Green

Initiative’. A major aspect of this initiative is concentrating our efforts on reducing paper usage. With this in mind, effective February 28th, 2014, MA DESE providers currently receeiving direct deposit payments will no longer be issued a paper remittance advice as proof of payment via the US Postal Service. Instead, PPL has made the process of receiving remittance advice more convenient and eco-friendly by making all remittance advices available at any time through the PPL Web Portal. This advice may be accessed at any time and is also easily printable if needed.

If you are not familiar with the PPL Web Portal, follow these steps to learn how to register for an

username and password as well as how to log in:

1. Visit www.publicpartnerships.com

2. Select the MA DESE program

3. Enter: username: madese / password: pcgdese194. View the instructions for registering for the Web Portal under the “Web Portal User Guides” section

5. These instructions will help you create your unique username and password and will also help you learn

how to log in to the PPL Web Portal

How do I view my remittance advice via the PPL Web Portal?

1. Go to the PPL Web Portal: https://fms.publicpartnerships.com/PPLPortal/Login.aspx

2. Log in with your unique username and password

3. Under the “timesheets” tab, select “all timesheets” with a status of “paid”

4. Click on “search”

5. All paid timesheets will appear. To the right of the paid timesheet, the “check number” column displays

your remittance advice number. Click on the remittance advice number.

6. A popup screen will appear to ask whether you want to open or save your remittance advice.

a. If you want to view it but do not wish to save it to your computer right now, click “open.”

b. If you would like to save the remittance advice to your local computer for your records, click

“save.”

**Please Note: If you still wish to receive your paper remittance advice, you may do so by simply calling PPL's customer service line at (888) 623-5688 and amking this request.**

3. Submit Direct Deposit Application to PPLOnce you have completed the Direct Deposit application, you must gather and submit account verification documents to PPL. This differs depending on where you want your funds to go:

Checking account: Submit a voided check or a letter from your bank that states the checkingaccount number where your funds should be deposited.

Savings account: Submit a letter from your bank that states your savings account number whereyour funds should be deposited.

Pay card/debit card: Submit documentation from the pay card’s enrollment process or the paycard’s financial entity that verifies the account and the routing numbers.

NOTE: If you choose this option, please note that PPL does not support any particular pay card/debit card financial institution and is not responsible for any fees established by the financial institution. PPL recommends you review all pertaining to your pay card prior to enrolling and activating it.

4. Await confirmation from PPLYour Direct Deposit account will become active after PPL verifies your account number with your bank or pay card. The whole process will take 1 to 2 pay cycles from the time we receive your completed and signed application.

If there is a change in bank account information, your PPL payment account will be taken off Direct Deposit status until the new bank account information is verified. Verification may take a few weeks. You will receive paper checks in the interim period.

The Direct Deposit payment is sent on the check date (see Payroll Schedule) and should be in your bank account 24-48 hours afterwards. Please note that bank holidays may delay posting. After considering bank holidays, contact PPL if you don’t receive your payment on time.

That’s it! Once your Direct Deposit becomes active, you will be able to view a summary of your gross wages, tax withholding, etc. on the Remittance Advice that will be available to you on the Web Portal. Thank you for signing up – we hope you enjoy having faster access to your payments!
