Who must le a Form D-4?
Every new employee who resides in DC and is required to have
DC income taxes withheld, must fill out Form D-4 and fi
le it
with his/her employer.
If you are not liable for DC income taxes because you are a
nonresident or military
spouse, you must file Form D-4A,
Certificate of Nonresidence in the District of Columbia, with your
employer.
When should you le?
File Form D-4 whenever you start new employment. Once filed
with your employer, it will remain in effect until you file a new
ce
rtificate. You may file a new withholding allowance certificate
any time the number of withholding allowances you are entitled to
increases. You must file a new certificate within 10 days if the
number of withholding allowances you claimed decreases.
How many withholding allowances should you claim?
Use the worksheet on the front of this form to figure the number of
withholding allowances you should claim. If you want less
money withheld from your paycheck, you may claim additional
allowances by completing Section B of the worksheet, Lines j
through n. However, if you claim too many allowances, you may
owe additional taxes at the end of the year.
Should I have an additional amount deducted from my pay-
check?
In some instances, even if you claim zero withholding allowances,
you may not have enough tax withheld. You may, upon agreement
with your employer, have more tax withheld by entering on Line 3,
a dollar amount of your choosing.
What to le
After completing Form D-4, detach the top portion and file it with
your employer. K
eep the bottom portion for your records.
