If I live in Vermont will state tax automatically be withheld?
- Dartmouth College will not automatically withhold Vermont state taxes. You
can request this be withheld on your behalf by submitting the Employee
Information Form to EIS/Payroll.
If I previously had Vermont tax withheld and change my address to New
Hampshire, will Vermont Tax stop being withheld?
What is Form W-4?
- Form W-4 tells an employer how many withholding allowances to use when
deducting Federal Income Tax from an employee's pay. Form W-4 includes detailed
instructions, and a worksheet to help the employee figure his or her correct
number of withholding allowances.
My pay stub shows my marital status as single, what is this for?
- The marital status on your pay stub indicates how you are claiming on your
Form W-4.
What happens if I didn't submit a Form W-4?
- Your taxation status will default to Single with zero allowances.
How often can I change my Form W-4 ?
- The Form W-4 can be changed as many times through out the year as you find
necessary. Once Form W-4 has been submitted to the EIS/Payroll Office, you
should monitor your pay stub to verify the change has been processed. This
information will be recorded on your stub in the upper left hand corner, titled
TAX DATA.
How do I claim exemption from Federal Tax?
- Submit the Form W-4 with exempt written on line 7, please be sure to leave
line 5 blank. The IRS has strict guidelines for claiming exemption from
withholding. For further information, please visit the IRS website, http://www.irs.gov/ and see Publication
505.
Who do I submit Form W-4 to?
- Form W-4 must be submitted to the Payroll Office at Hinman Box 6161.
I am an enrolled student and noticed no Social Security or Medicare taxes
were withheld from my check, is this correct?

Medicare taxes.
I am a student on leave term, will I have to pay Social Security and
Medicare taxes?
- Exemption from Social Security and Medicare taxes applies only to students
who are currently enrolled, therefore you will have these taxes withheld.
Can the EIS/Payroll Office offer tax guidance?
- The EIS/Payroll Office can not offer tax guidance on the proper withholding
status for employees. This information may be obtained from an accountant or by
researching the IRS documentation found at http://www.irs.gov/.
