Employee General InstructionsForm CT-W4, Employee’s Withholding Certifi cate, provides your employer with the necessary information to withhold the correct amount of Connecticut income tax from your wages to ensure that you will not be underwithheld or overwithheld.You are required to pay Connecticut income tax as income is earned or received during the year. You should complete a new Form CT-W4 at least once a year or if your tax situation changes.If your circumstances change, such as you receive a bonus or your fi ling status changes, you must furnish your employer with a new Form CT-W4 within ten days of the change.Gross IncomeFor Form CT-W4 purposes, gross income means all income from all sources, whether received in the form of money, goods, property, or services, not exempt from federal income tax, and includes any additions to income from Schedule 1 of Form CT-1040, Connecticut Resident Income Tax Return or Form CT-1040NR/PY, Connecticut Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Return.Filing StatusGenerally, the fi ling status you expect to report on your Connecticut income tax return is the same as the fi ling status you expect to report on your federal income tax return. However, special rules apply to married individuals who fi le a joint federal return but have a different residency status. Nonresidents and part-year residents should see the instructions to Form CT-1040NR/PY. Check Your WithholdingYou may be underwithheld if any of the following apply:• You have more than one job;• You qualify under Certain Married Individuals and do not use the

Supplemental Table on Page 3 and Page 4; or• You have substantial nonwage income.If you are underwithheld, you should consider adjusting your withholding or making estimated payments using Form CT-1040ES, Estimated Connecticut Income Tax Payment Coupon for Individuals. You may also select Withholding Code “D” to elect the highest level of withholding.If you owe $1,000 or more in Connecticut income tax over and above what has been withheld from your income for the prior taxable year, you may be subject to interest on the underpayment at the rate of 1% per month or fraction of a month. You may be overwithheld if your combined annual income is more than $200,000 but less than $700,000 and your Connecticut fi ling status is fi ling jointly. To help determine if your withholding is correct, see Informational Publication 2015(7), Is My Connecticut Withholding Correct?

Nonresident Employees Working Partly Within and Partly Outside of ConnecticutIf you work partly within and partly outside of Connecticut for the same employer, you should also complete Form CT-W4NA, Employee’s Withholding or Exemption Certifi cate - Nonresident Apportionment, and provide it to your employer. The information on Form CT-W4NA and Form CT-W4 will help your employer determine how much to withhold from your wages for services performed within Connecticut. To obtain Form CT-W4NA, visit the Department of Revenue Services (DRS) website at www.ct.gov/DRS or request the form from your employer. Any nonresident who expects to have no Connecticut income tax liability should choose Withholding Code “E.”Certain Married IndividualsIf you are a married individual fi ling jointly and you and your spouse both select Withholding Code “A,” you may have too much or too little Connecticut income tax withheld from your pay. This is because the phase-out of the personal exemption and credit is based on your combined incomes. The withholding tables cannot refl ect your exact withholding requirement without considering the income of your spouse.

Form CT-W4 (Rev. 12/14)

To minimize this problem, use the Supplemental Table on Page 3 and Page 4 to adjust your withholding. You are not required to use this table. Do not use the supplemental table to adjust your withholding if you use the worksheet in IP 2015(7).Armed Forces Personnel and VeteransIf you are a Connecticut resident, your armed forces pay is subject to Connecticut income tax withholding unless you qualify as a nonresident for Connecticut income tax purposes. If you qualify as a nonresident, you may request that no Connecticut income tax be withheld from your armed forces pay by entering Withholding Code “E” on Line 1.

Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (MSRRA)If you are claiming an exemption from Connecticut income tax under the MSRRA, you must provide your employer with a copy of your military spouse’s Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) and a copy of your military dependent ID card. See Informational Publication 2012(15), Connecticut Income Tax Information for Armed Forces Personnel and Veterans.Employer InstructionsFor any employee who does not complete Form CT-W4, you are required to withhold at the highest marginal rate of 6.7% without allowance for exemption. You are required to keep Form CT-W4 in your fi les for each employee. See Informational Publication 2015(1), Connecticut Employer’s Tax Guide, Circular CT, for complete instructions.

Report Certain Employees Claiming Exemption From Withholding to DRSEmployers are required to fi le copies of Form CT-W4 with DRS for certain employees claiming “E” (no withholding is necessary). SeeIP 2015(1). Mail copies of Forms CT-W4 meeting the conditions listed in IP 2015(1) under Reporting Certain Employees to: Department of Reveunue Services PO Box 2931 Hartford CT 06104-2931

Page 13: Employment Packet CHECKLIST: Acquired Brain Injury (ABI ... · Per the CT Department of Social Services, all employees are required to read the DSS Provider Information Manual that

Form W-4 (2015)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.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 2015 expires February 16, 2016. See Pub. 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.Note. If another person can claim you as a dependent on his or her tax return, you cannot claim exemption from withholding if your income exceeds $1,050 and includes more than $350 of unearned income (for example, interest and dividends).

Exceptions. An employee may be able to claim exemption from withholding even if the employee is a dependent, if the employee:• Is age 65 or older,

• Is blind, or

• Will claim adjustments to income; tax credits; or itemized deductions, on his or her tax return.

The exceptions do not apply to supplemental wages greater than $1,000,000.Basic instructions. If you are not 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.

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.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.Tax credits. You can take projected tax credits into account in figuring your allowable number of withholding allowances. Credits for child or dependent care expenses and the child tax credit may be claimed using the Personal Allowances Worksheet below. See Pub. 505 for information on converting your other credits into withholding allowances.

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.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. Your withholding usually will be most accurate when all allowances are claimed on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job and zero allowances are claimed on the others. See Pub. 505 for details.Nonresident alien. If you are a nonresident alien, see Notice 1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens, before completing this form.Check your withholding. After your Form W-4 takes effect, use Pub. 505 to see how the amount you are having withheld compares to your projected total tax for 2015. See Pub. 505, especially if your earnings exceed $130,000 (Single) or $180,000 (Married).Future developments. Information about any future developments affecting Form W-4 (such as legislation enacted after we release it) will be posted at www.irs.gov/w4.
