Form Grw 4 PDF Details

In an era where understanding tax obligations is crucial for both employees and employers, the Employee’s Withholding Certificate for Grand Rapids Income Tax, known as the GRW-4 form, emerges as an essential document for those living or working within the jurisdiction of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This form plays a pivotal role in determining the amount of city income tax withheld from an employee's paycheck by requiring detailed information such as full name, social security number, address, and employment details, alongside the critical decision of declaring residency status as either a resident or nonresident. Additionally, it encompasses provisions for declaring exemptions based on personal circumstances, including age, blindness, or dependents, which can significantly affect the withholding amount. Employees are tasked with accurately reporting places of employment and estimating the percentage of income earned within Grand Rapids or other specified working cities to ensure correct tax withholding. This proactive declaration on the GRW-4 form not only facilitates accurate tax deductions from earnings but also aids in avoiding potential conflicts with the Grand Rapids City Income Tax Department by ensuring compliance with local tax regulations. The instructions included with the form guide individuals through each section, emphasizing its completion's significance and the conditions that necessitate the filing of a new certificate due to changes in personal or financial status.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING EMPLOYEE’S WITHHOLDING CERTIFICATE FOR GRAND RAPIDS INCOME TAX

FORM GRW-4

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS—Check the box in the upper right hand corner to indicate your residency status and enter the requested data on lines 1 and 2.

LINE 3 INSTRUCTIONS—If you are a nonresident and work for this employer in two or more cities or communities, print the names of the two Michigan cities or communities where you perform the greatest percentage of your work. Circle the closest percent of total earnings for work done or services rendered in each city or community listed. The estimated percent of total earnings from this employer for work done or services performed within taxing cities (Line 3) is for withholding purposes only. In determining final tax liability this estimate is subject to substantiation and audit.

DEPENDENTS—To qualify as your dependent (line 6), a person (a) must receive more than one-half of his or her support from you for the year, and (b) must have less than $3,000 gross income during the year (except your child who is under 19 years of age or who is a full- time student under 24 years of age), and (c) must not be claimed as an exemption by such person’s husband or wife, and (d) must be a citizen or resident of the United States or a resident of Canada, Mexico, the Republic of Panama or the Canal Zone (this does not apply to an alien child legally adopted by and living with a United States citizen abroad), and (e) must (1) have your home as his principal residence and be a member of your household for the entire year, or (2) be related to you as follows:

Your son or daughter (including legally adopted children), grandchild, stepson, stepdaughter, son- in-law, or daughter-in-law.

Your father, mother, grandparent, stepfather, stepmother, father-in-law, or mother-in-law.

Your brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law. Your uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece (but only if related by blood).

INCREASE IN EXEMPTIONS—You should file a new certificate at any time if the number of your exemptions increases.

DECREASE IN EXEMPTIONS

1.You must file a new certificate within 10 days if the number of exemptions previously claimed by you DECREASES for any of the following reasons:

(a)Your spouse for whom you have been claiming exemption is divorced or legally separated, or claims their own exemption on a separate certificate.

(b)The support of a dependent for whom you claimed exemption is taken over by someone else, so that you no longer expect to furnish more than half of their support for the year.

(c)You find that a dependent for whom you claimed an exemption will receive $3,000 or more of income of their own during the year.

2.CHILD TURNS 19—File a new certificate within 10 days of the start of the tax year in which your child, for whom you claimed exemption, turns 19 years of age or, if a full- time student, 24 years of age.

3.DEATH OF SPOUSE OR DEPENDENT—You must file a new certificate by December 1 of the year in which the death of your spouse or dependent for whom you claimed exemption occurs. (Death of a spouse or a dependent does not affect your withholding until the next year.)

4.CHANGE OF RESIDENCE—You must file a new certificate within 10 days after you change your residence from or to a taxing city.

5.CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT—You must file a new certificate by December 1 each year if your estimate of the percentage of work done or services rendered in Grand Rapids (Line 3) will

change for the ensuing year.

E X T R A E X E M P T I O N S — Additional exemptions allowed for federal income tax purposes and claimed on Schedule A of federal Form W-4 are not allowed for Grand Rapids income tax purposes.
