Under IRS Section 3121(b)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, students performing services as an employee of a college or University could be exempt if certain conditions are met.
For detailed information, please visit the Payroll Services website to read more about a Student FICA Exemption.
You are not required to submit a new W-4 form each year unless you have claimed "Exempt". If you claim "Exempt" on your W-4, please be aware it will expire around February 15th each year. If a new W-4 form is not submitted, your tax withholding will automatically default to a single filing status with zero allowances.
If you receive dependent compensation (salary or wages), you are generally required to complete Form W-4 as "Single" (regardless of your actual marital status), "One" Personal Withholding Allowance (regardless of your actual number of dependents), and an additional amount of tax to offset potential under withholding of tax.
If you receive a scholarship or fellowship (for which no services are required), your scholarship or fellowship may consist of non-taxable items (tuition, book allowance, required registration fees, and mandatory health insurance), Taxable items (including, but are not limited to, room and board, stipend, living allowance, travel payment/reimbursement), or a combination of both non-taxable and taxable items. If you are present in the U.S. under an F, J, M, or Q immigration status, the applicable rate of tax withholding is 14 percent; if you are present in the U.S. under any other immigration status, the applicable rate of tax withholding is 30 percent.
If you receive an honorarium, guest speaker fee, consultant fees, royalty, or any other type of income, the applicable rate of tax withholding is 30 percent.
