Life changes can affect your tax liability

Got married? Had a baby? Started a new job? These and other life events can mean good things for you at tax time.

You just need to share the good news with your employer and with us using Form IT-2104, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate. It’s the form your employer asks you to complete along with the federal Form W-4 when you begin a new job in New York State. And it’s a powerful tool for managing what comes out of your gross pay.

Do a paycheck checkup. Get to know Form IT-2104 and resolve to review it and update it every year. Have last year’s New York State tax return handy for all the information you’ll need to complete the worksheets.
