                                                                                      Employee's Withholding 

                                                                                       Exemption Certificate

Complete this form and present it to your employer to avoid any delay in adjusting the amount of state income tax to 
be withheld from your wages. 

If  you  do  not  complete  this  form,  the  amount  of  tax  that  is  now  being  withheld  from  your  pay  may  not 
be sufficient to cover the total amount of tax due the state when filing your personal income tax return after the close of 
the year. You may be subject to a penalty on tax owed the state. 

Individuals are permitted a maximum of one exemption for themselves, plus an additional exemption for their spouse 
and any dependent other than their spouse that they expect to claim on their tax return. 

If  you  are  married  and  both  you  and  your  spouse  work  and  you  file  a  joint  income  tax  return,  or  if 
you are  working  two  or  more  jobs,  the  revised  withholding  tables  should  result  in  a  more  accurate  amount 
of tax being withheld. 

If you are Single, Head of Household, or Married and your spouse does not work, and you are receiving wages from 
only one job, and you wish to have your tax withheld at a lower rate, you must check the box on line 5. 

When requesting withholding from pension and annuity payments you must present this completed form to the payor. 
Enter the amount you want withheld on line 6. 

If  you  determine  the  amount  of  tax  being  withheld  is  insufficient,  you  may  reduce  the  number  of 
exemptions you are  claiming  or  request  additional  taxes  be  withheld  from  each  payroll  period.  Enter  the  additional 
amount  you want to have withheld on line 6. 

Employees  who  reside  in  Kentucky,  Maryland,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Virginia  or  who  are  a  Military  Spouse 
exempt from income tax on wages, see page 2.
