Notice to Employees

New withholding tables may reduce the amount of income
tax withheld from your wages. The new tables, prescribed
by the Department of the Treasury, reflect the Making
Work Pay credit and other changes resulting from the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
You do not have to submit a Form W-4, Employee’s
Withholding Allowance Certificate, to get the automatic
withholding change. If you do not want to have your
withholding reduced (because, for example, you have more
than one job or you are married and your combined income
places you in a higher tax bracket), you may want to file a
new Form W-4 with your employer. You may claim fewer
withholding allowances on line 5 or request additional
amounts to be withheld on line 6.
For additional help, get IRS Publication 919, How Do I
Adjust My Tax Withholding? Or visit the IRS website at
www.irs.gov and use the “Withholding Calculator.”
