    IF LESS THAN ZERO, SEE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS 
    BELOW*.  Report this number of allowances on 
    Form W-4 and indicate “For Delaware Purposes Only” 
    to your employer. 

I.  *SPECIAL INSTUCTIONS:              If the total on Line 10 is less than zero you will need additional 
    withholding as a result of non-wage income.  You can calculate the amount of additional withholding 
    as follows: 

    (1)           Multiply number on Line 10 by $110; 

    (2)           Divide the result by the number of pay periods 
                  during the year (e.g. if you are paid monthly, 
                  divide by 12);  The result is the additional amount 
                  of withholding required per pay. 

EXAMPLE:          Total on Line 10 is “-2” and you are paid once a month. 

    (1)           Line H = 2 x $110 =                  $220.00

    (2)           Number of pay periods = $220.00/12 = $ 18.33 

You should notify your employer on a “For Delaware Purposes Only” W-4 that withholding allowance 
should be “0” and an additional $18.33 per pay should be withheld for the current year.
