WEST VIRGINIA EMPLOYEE’S WITHHOLDING EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE
FORM WV/IT-104
Complete this form and present it to your employer to avoid any delay in adjusting the amount of state
income tax to be withheld from your wages.
If you do not complete this form, the amount of tax that is now being withheld from your pay may not be
sufficient to cover the total amount of tax due the state when filing your personal income tax return after the
close of the year. You may be subject to a penalty on tax owed the state.
Individuals are permitted a maximum of one exemption for themselves, plus an additional exemption for
their spouse and any dependent other than their spouse that they expect to claim on their tax return.
If you are married and both you and your spouse work and you file a joint income tax return, or
if you are working two or more jobs, the revised withholding tables should result in a more accurate
amount of tax being withheld.
If you are Single, Head of Household, or Married and your spouse does not work, and you are receiving
wages from only one job, and you wish to have your tax withheld at a lower rate, you must check the box on
line 5.
When requesting withholding from pension and annuity payments you must present this completed form
to the payor. Enter the amount you want withheld on line 6.
If you determine the amount of tax being withheld is insufficient, you may reduce the number of
exemptions you are claiming or request additional taxes be withheld from each payroll period. Enter the
additional amount you want to have withheld on line 6.
