R-1300 (1/23) Employee Withholding Exemption Certificate (L-4) Purpose: Complete form L-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct amount of state income tax from your salary. Instructions: Employees who are subject to state withholding should complete the personal allowances worksheet indicating the number of withholding personal exemptions in Block A and the number of dependency credits in Block B. • Employees must file a new withholding exemption certificate within 10 days if the number of their exemptions decreases, except if the change is the result of the death of a spouse or a dependent. • Employees may file a new certificate any time the number of their exemptions increases. • Line 8 should be used to increase or decrease the tax withheld for each pay period.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
