Form
W-4
(2018)
Future developments. For the latest
information about any future developments
related
to
Form W-4, such as legislation
enacted after it was published, go
to
www.irs.gov/FormW4.
Purpose. Complete Form W-4 so that your
employer can withhold the correct federal
income tax from your pay. Consider
completing a new Form W-4 each year and
when your personal
or
financial situation
changes.
Exemption from withholding. You may
claim exemption from withholding for 2018
if
both
of
the following apply.
For 2017 you had a right
to
a refund
of
all
federal income tax withheld because you
had
no
tax liability, and
For 2018 you expect a refund
of
all
federal income tax withheld because you
expect
to
have no tax liability.
If you're exempt, complete
only lines 1,
2,
3,
4, and 7 and sign the form
to
validate it.
Your exemption for 2018 expires February
15, 2019. See Pub. 505, Tax Withholding
and Estimated Tax,
to
learn more about
whether you qualify for exemption from
withholding.
General Instructions
If you aren't exempt, follow the rest
of
these instructions
to
determine the number
of
withholding allowances you should claim
for withholding for 2018 and any additional
amount
of
tax
to
have withheld. For regular
wages, withholding must be based on
allowances you claimed and may not be a
flat amount or percentage
of
wages.
You can also use the calculator at
www.irs.gov/W4App
to
determine your
tax withholding more accurately. Consider
using this calculator if you have a more
complicated tax situation, such as if you
have a working spouse, more than one job,
or
a large amount
of
nonwage income
outside
of
your
job
. After your Form W-4
takes effect, you can also use this
calculator
to
see how the amount
of
tax
you're having withheld compares
to
your
projected total tax for 2018. If you use the
calculator, you
don't
need
to
complete any
of
the worksheets for Form W-4.
Note that if you have too much tax
withheld, you will receive a refund when you
file your tax return. If you have too little tax
withheld, you will owe tax when you file your
tax return, and you might owe a penalty.
Filers with multiple jobs
or
working
spouses. If you have more than one
job
at
a time,
or
if you're married and your
spouse is also working, read all
of
the
instructions including the instructions for
the Two-Earners/Multiple Jobs Worksheet
before beginning.
Nonwage
income. If you have a large
amount
of
nonwage income, such as
interest or dividends, consider making
estimated tax payments using Form 1040-
ES
, Estimated Tax for Individuals.
Otherwise, you might owe additional tax.
Or, you can use the Deductions,
Adjustments, and Other Income Worksheet
on page 3
or
the calculator at
www
.irs.gov/
W4App
to
make sure you have enough tax
withheld from your paycheck. If you have
pension or annuity income, see Pub. 505 or
use the calculator at
www.irs.gov/W4App
to
find out if you should adjust your
withholding on Form W-4 or W-4P.
Nonresident alien. If you're a nonresident
alien, see Notice 1392, Supplemental Form
W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens,
before completing this form.
Specific Instructions
Personal Allowances Worksheet
Complete this worksheet on page 3 first
to
determine the number
of
withholding
allowances
to
claim.
Line C.
Head
of
household please note:
Generally, you can claim head
of
household filing status on your tax return
only if you're unmarried and pay more than
50%
of
the costs
of
keeping up a home for
yourself and a qualifying individual. See
Pub.
501
for more information about filing
status.
Line
E.
Child
tax
credit. When you file
your tax return, you might be eligible
to
claim a credit for each
of
your qualifying
children. To qualify, the child must be
under age 17 as
of
December
31
and must
be your dependent who lives with you for
more than half the year. To learn more
about this credit, see Pub. 972, Child Tax
Credit. To reduce the tax withheld from
your pay by taking this credit into account,
follow the instructions on line E
of
the
worksheet. On the worksheet you will be
asked about your total income. For this
purpose, total income includes all
of
your
wages and other income, including income
earned by a spouse, during the year.
Line
F.
Credit
for
other dependents.
When you file your tax return, you might be
eligible
to
claim a credit for each
of
your
dependents that
don't
qualify for the child
tax credit, such as any dependent children
age 17 and older. To learn more about this
credit, see Pub. 505. To reduce the tax
withheld from your pay by taking this credit
into account, follow the instructions on line
F
of
the worksheet.
On

Deductions, Adjustments, and

Complete this worksheet to determine if
you're able
to
reduce the tax withheld from
your paycheck
to
account for your itemized
deductions and other adjustments to
income such as IRA contributions. If you
do
so, your refund at the end
of
the year
will be smaller, but your paycheck will be
larger. You're not required to complete this
worksheet
or
reduce your withholding if
you
don't
wish
to
do
so.
You can also use this worksheet
to
figure
out how much
to
increase the tax withheld
from your paycheck if you have a large
amount
of
nonwage income, such as
interest
or
dividends.
Another option is
to
take these items into
account and make your withholding more
accurate by using the calculator at
www.irs.gov/W4App. If you use the
calculator, you
don't
need
to
complete any
of
the worksheets for Form W-4.
Two-Earners/Multiple Jobs
Worksheet
Complete this worksheet if you have more
than one job at a time
or
are married filing
jointly and have a working spouse. If you
don't
complete this worksheet, you might
have too little tax withheld. If so, you will
owe tax when you file your tax return and
might be subject
to
a penalty.
Figure the total number
of
allowances
you're entitled
to
claim and any additional
amount
of
tax
to
withhold on all jobs using
worksheets from only one Form W-4. Claim
all allowances on the W-4 that you
or
your
spouse file for the highest paying
job
in
your family and claim zero allowances on
Forms W-4 filed for all other jobs. For
example, if you earn $60,000 per year and
your spouse earns $20,000, you should
complete the worksheets
to
determine
what
to
enter on lines 5 and 6
of
your Form
W-4, and your spouse should enter zero
("-0-") on lines 5 and 6
of
his
or
her Form
W-4. See Pub.
505 for details.
Another option is
to
use the calculator at
www.irs.gov/W4App
to
make your
withholding more accurate.
Tip: If you have a working spouse and your
incomes are similar, you can check the
"Married, but withhold at higher Single
rate" box instead
of
using this worksheet. If
you choose this option, then each spouse
should fill out the Personal Allowances
Worksheet and check the "Married, but
withhold at higher Single rate" box on Form
W-4, but only one spouse should claim any
allowances for credits
or
fill out the
Deductions, Adjustments, and Additional
Income Worksheet.

withheld from your wages. By correctly completing this form, you can adjust the amount of tax withheld to
meet your tax liability. Failure to submit a properly completed Form G-4 will result in your employer withholding
tax as though you are single with zero allowances.
Employers are required to mail any Form G-4 claiming more than 14 allowances or exempt from withholding
to the Georgia Department of Revenue for approval. Employers will honor the form as submitted pending
notification from the Withholding Tax Unit. Upon approval, such forms remain in effect until changed or until
February 15 of the following year.
NOTE: Employers who know that a G-4 is erroneous should not honor the form and should withhold as if the
employee is single claiming zero allowances until a corrected form has been received.

Jeanne Clery Act
Crime Statistics and Report Training for Campus Security Authorities
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act is the landmark federal law, originally
known as the Campus Security Act that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about
crime on and around their campuses. The directly relates to participation in federal student financial aid programs, therefore it
applies to most institutions of higher education both public and private. It is enforced by the U.S. Department of Education
(DOE).
The “Clery Act” is named in memory of 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann Clery who was raped and murdered
while asleep in her residence hall room on April 5, 1986. Jeanne’s parents discovered that students hadn’t been told about 38
violent crimes on the campus in the three years before her murder. They joined with other campus crime victims and persuaded
Congress to enact this law, which was originally known as the “Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990”. The law
was amended in 1992 to add a requirement that schools afford the victims of campus sexual assault certain basic rights, and
was amended again in 1998 to expand the reporting requirements. The 1998 amendments also formally named the law in
memory of Jeanne Clery.
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Campus Security Authority.” CSA’s are usually found in departments responsible for, but not limited to, student
and campus activities, safety/security, discipline, housing, human resources, or judicial proceedings. This designation also
includes any individual who has been specified by ASUPD to receive and report offenses. CSA’s are responsible for reporting
the number of crimes and incidents as described in the Clery Act that occur in their department to the ASU Police Department.
These numbers are then included in the federally-mandated Clery Report, which is distributed every year by October 1st.
How do I know what to report?
You must report all allegations of crimes that you determine are made in good faith as a statistic that will be included in the
Annual Security Report. Although law enforcement personnel may conclude after further investigation that some allegations
are not substantiated by the facts or the law, you must report information that is a reported to you. Neither a formal police
report nor an investigation is needed in order for a crime report to be included in these statistics. Your responsibility is to
provide as accurate and complete a description as possible of what happened, including the location and whether the victim or
alleged perpetrator was a student.
What crimes must I report?
The Annual Security Report must include statistics on nine types of crime:
Criminal Homicide - (A) Murder and Non- Negligent Manslaughter, and (B) Negligent Manslaughter;
Sex Offenses - (A) Forcible Sex Offenses and (B) Non-Forcible Sex Offenses;
Robbery;
Aggravated Assault;
Burglary;
Motor Vehicle Theft;
Arson;
Arrests and Disciplinary Referrals for liquor law violations, drug law violations, and illegal weapons possession; and

Hate Crimes/bias.
Campus Police will ensure that crimes are properly classified.
Who must report campus crime?
In addition to the Police Department, Campus Security Authorities must report any crimes or incidents that may be crimes that
are reported to them. You are a Campus Security Authority if you fit any the following descriptions: 1. Individuals with Campus
Security responsibility staff assigned to security functions. 2. Designated Individuals any individual or organization identified
on the campus as Clery Coordinator to which crimes must be reported.
If you are a pastoral counselor or professional counselor, use your judgement. When appropriate, you may tell a person you
are counseling about campus procedures for reporting crimes and confidentially for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime
statistics report even if the person does not want to press charges or participate in an investigation. Procedures for reporting
crimes confidentially must be included in the Annual Safety and Fire Report.
What about timely warnings?
Immediate reporting of crimes allows the police to act in a timely fashion to investigate or otherwise address alleged crimes
that may present a clear danger to the campus community. All you need do is report the crime by calling the police. The ASU
Police Department is responsible for gathering the data for all crimes reported, and soliciting information from local police
agencies concerning crimes reported to them.
A copy of the Annual Safety and Fire Report and Compliance Statement can be found on the ASU website at www.asurams.edu.

curricular activities; a director of athletics or a team coach; faculty advisors to a student groups; staff responsible for student
discipline; campus judicial staff. Each campus must identify these individuals. The Clery Coordinator is responsible for ensuring

New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage
Affordable Care Act
Under the Affordable Care Act, the University System of Georgia, as your employer, is required to provide you this
notice.
If you have questions about the Health Insurance Marketplace, please visit the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace
website at https://www.healthcare.gov/families/. The State of Georgia has opted not to operate a Health Insurance
Marketplace and therefore, individuals in Georgia will use the federal Health Insurance Marketplace to enroll in
coverage.
The University System of Georgia’s Consumer Choice H.S.A. plan meets the Affordability Requirement under the
Affordable Care Act. Therefore, in general, University System of Georgia employees who are eligible for health
insurance will not be eligible for a tax credit in 2014 through the Health Insurance Marketplace (or Exchanges)
created under the Affordable Care Act.
I have read and understand that the University System of Georgia offer’s the Consumer Choice H.S.A. plan, which
meets the affordability requirement under the Affordable Care Act. I also understand that if I opt out of enrollment
into this plan at the time of hire, that I will be ineligible for any tax credit through the Marketplace. I also forfeit my
opportunity to enroll into a healthcare plan with Albany State University and must wait until Open Enrollment to
elect coverage, where coverage will not take effect until January 1
st
of the following year.
