Changes in Income Tax Withholding

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.”   

Teachers do not pay additional tax on salary paid over 12 months

The American Payroll Association won a very important victory in Congress that allows educational institutions to continue to give their employees a choice of pay schedule, without that choice creating nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC). By avoiding definition as NQDC, the employer avoids paperwork burdens. 
The employee also avoids the possibility of an extra 20% tax on his or her wages if all the complex rules that govern NQDC are not followed.

Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008-62 describes a rule that the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS plan to include in future regulations, but that employers may now rely on for the 2008-2009 school year.
