payroll: Claiming Exemption From Income Tax Withholding

[BAO Payroll Office News]

Please forward the following reminder to employees within your department:


U.S. Citizens and Residents:

If you claimed exempt on your W-4 in 2013, and wish to continue exempt status in 2014, you must re-file by February 11, 2014, to retain this status.  No tax refund will be issued if the W-4 Form is received after the deadline.  Submit Form W-4<http://ba.uoregon.edu/sites/ba/files/forms/w4.pdf> to the Payroll Office in Oregon Hall.

It is very important to read the information on the top page of the W-4 Form to see if you qualify for the exemption.

Foreign Nationals:

Foreign nationals may not claim exemption from taxes on Form W-4.  However, you may claim exemption from U. S. withholding if there is a tax treaty in force between the U.S. and the country where you claim residency.

Example:  A Chinese national who is a Canadian resident might claim exemption based on the U.S. / Canadian tax treaty.

For information on the annual renewal / update of tax status for foreign nationals see:
