Form Nc 4 PDF Details

Understanding the North Carolina Form NC-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, is crucial for employees and employers alike in ensuring that the correct amount of state income tax is withheld from paychecks. This form, which is overseen by the North Carolina Department of Revenue, plays a vital role in the financial planning and tax compliance processes. Employees have different versions of the form to consider based on their individual circumstances, such as the NC-4 EZ for those who plan to claim standard or child deduction amounts and the NC-4 NRA specifically designed for nonresident aliens. Additionally, the form includes detailed instructions to accurately complete the Allowance Worksheet, which assists in determining the appropriate number of withholding allowances an employee should claim. This can be influenced by multiple factors including federal and state adjustments to gross income, itemized deductions, and applicable tax credits. Furthermore, it outlines special considerations for those with multiple jobs, nonwage income, and specific filing statuses such as head of household or surviving spouse. The implications of not providing an NC-4 or submitting inaccurate information could result in penalties, making it essential for both employees and employers to handle this form with care and precision.

NC-4

Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate

PURPOSE - Complete Form NC-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct amount of State income tax from your pay. If you do not provide an NC-4 to your employer, your employer is required to withhold based on the filing status, “Single” with zero allowances.

FORM NC-4 EZ - You may use Form NC4-EZ if you plan to claim either the N.C. Standard Deduction or the N.C. Child Deduction Amount (but no other N.C. deductions), and you do not plan to claim any N.C. tax credits.

FORM NC-4 NRA - If you are a nonresident alien you must use Form NC-4 NRA. In general, a nonresident alien is an alien (not a U.S. citizen) who has not passed the green card test or the substantial presence test. (See Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, for more information on the green card test and the substantial presence test.)

FORM NC-4 BASIC INSTRUCTIONS - Complete the NC-4 Allowance Worksheet. The worksheet will help you determine your withholding allowances based on federal and State adjustments to gross income

including the N.C. Child Deduction Amount, N.C. itemized deductions, and N.C. tax credits. However, you may claim fewer allowances than

you are entitled to if you wish to increase the tax withheld during the tax year. If your withholding allowances decrease, you must file a new NC-4 with your employer within 10 days after the change occurs. Exception:

When an individual ceases to be “Head of Household” after maintaining the household for the major portion of the year, a new NC-4 is not required until the next year.

TWO OR MORE JOBS - If you have more than one job, determine the total number of allowances you are entitled to claim on all jobs using one Form

NC-4 Allowance Worksheet. Your withholding will usually be most accurate when all allowances are claimed on the NC-4 filed for the higher paying job and zero allowances are claimed for the other. You should also refer to the

“Multiple Jobs Table” to determine the additional amount to be withheld on Line 2 of Form NC-4 (See page 4).

NONWAGE INCOME - If you have a large amount of nonwage income, such as interest or dividends, you should consider making estimated tax

payments using Form NC-40 to avoid underpayment of estimated tax interest. Form NC-40 is available on the Department’s website at www.

ncdor.gov.

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD - Generally you may claim “Head of Household” filing status on your tax return only if you are unmarried and pay more than 50% of the costs of keeping up a home for yourself and your dependent(s)

or other qualifying individuals.

SURVIVING SPOUSE - You may claim “Surviving Spouse” filing status only if your spouse died in either of the two preceding tax years and you meet the following requirements:

1.Your home is maintained as the main household of a child or stepchild for whom you can claim a federal exemption; and

2.You were entitled to file a joint return with your spouse in the year of your spouse’s death.

MARRIED TAXPAYERS - For married taxpayers, both spouses must agree as to whether they will complete the NC-4 Allowance Worksheet based on

the filing status, “Married Filing Jointly” or “Married Filing Separately.”

•Married taxpayers who complete the worksheet based on the filing status, “Married Filing Jointly” should consider the sum of both spouses’ income, federal and State adjustments to income, and State tax credits to determine the number of allowances.

•Married taxpayers who complete the worksheet based on the filing status, “Married Filing Separately” should consider only his or her portion of income, federal and State adjustments to income, and State tax credits to determine the number of allowances.

All NC-4 forms are subject to review by the North Carolina Department of Revenue. Your employer may be required to send this form to the North Carolina Department of Revenue.

CAUTION: If you furnish an employer with an Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate that contains information which has no reasonable basis and results in a lesser amount of tax being withheld than would have been withheld had you furnished reasonable information, you are subject to a penalty of 50% of the amount not properly withheld.

 Cut here and give this certificate to your employer. Keep the top portion for your records.
