Texas A&M University is a registered employer with other states and their local taxing jurisdictions. Most states and their local jurisdictions have unique tax laws with which Texas A&M University must comply. To that measure, Texas A&M University withholds from employees, including student workers, all applicable state and local income taxes. These taxes are withheld from those who maintain their residency within a state or locality that levies an income tax, even if they perform services outside of that state. These taxes are also withheld from those who physically work within in a state that levies an income tax, even if claiming residency in another state. In summary, all employees who claim residency or physically work in a state that levies an income tax will have state and/or local income taxes withheld from their wages as required by law.
