First, I recommend reaching out to your employer's human resources or payroll department immediately. Inform them about the error in your W-4 form and the subsequent over-withholding of federal taxes. They should be able to assist you in rectifying the situation.
U.S. States that Require State Tax Withholding Forms Alabama. Arizona. Arkansas. California. Connecticut. District of Columbia. Georgia. Hawaii.
Also remember withholding is not required for the nine states that do not have a state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
If your employer doesn't withhold state income taxes from your paycheck, AND you're subject to state income taxes (because you either reside or derive income from the state), you'll end up with a tax due at the time of filing your state income tax return.
Q. What can I do if my employer makes an illegal deduction from my paycheck? A. You can either file a wage claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (the Labor Commissioner's Office), or file a lawsuit in court against your employer to recover the lost wages.
If the amount under/over withheld is deemed too excessive, the IRS can send a lock-in letter notifying the employer how to adjust withholding regardless of the employee's W4 requests. If a W-4 error is caught before filing, individuals can correct this relatively easily by refiling a W-4 with their employer.
Contact Your Employer's Payroll Department: Reach out to your HR or payroll department to explain the situation. They may be able to correct the withholding on their end and issue a refund for the incorrectly withheld taxes.
Update Tax Withholdings You can submit your federal Form W-4 (federal withholdings) and NYS Form IT-2104 (state and local withholdings). NOTE: New employees must submit paper W-4 and IT-2104 forms through their agency's Office of Human Resources or Payroll Office when initially employed by New York State.
An employee can also use Form W-4 to tell you not to withhold any federal income tax. To qualify for this exempt status, the employee must have had no tax liability for the previous year and must expect to have no tax liability for the current year.
