General Instructions
Purpose of form. Give this form to the
Note. If you receive sick pay under a collective bargaining agreement, see your union representative or employer.
Definition. Sick pay is a payment that you receive:
•Under a plan to which your employer is a party and
•In place of wages for any period when you are temporarily absent from work because of your sickness or injury.
Amount to be withheld. Enter on this form the amount that you want withheld from each payment. The amount that you enter:
•Must be in whole dollars (for example, $35, not $34.50).
•Must be at least $4 per day, $20 per week, or $88 per month based on your payroll period.
•Must not reduce the net amount of each sick pay payment that you receive to less than $10.
For payments larger or smaller than a regular full payment of sick pay, the amount withheld will be in the same proportion as your regular withholding from sick pay. For example, if your regular full payment of $100 a week normally has $25 (25%) withheld, then $20 (25%) will be withheld from a partial payment of $80.
Caution. You may be subject to a penalty if your tax payments during the year are not at least 90% of the tax shown on your tax return. For exceptions and details, see Pub. 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax. You may pay tax during the year through withholding or estimated tax payments or both. To avoid a penalty, make sure that you have enough tax withheld or make estimated tax payments using Form
