Notice to Employee

1. For state purposes, an individual may claim only natural de-

pendency exemptions. This includes the taxpayer, spouse

and each dependent. Dependents are the same as defined

in the Internal Revenue Code and as claimed in the taxpayer’s

federal income tax return for the taxable year for which the

taxpayer would have been permitted to claim had the tax-

payer filed such a return.

2. You may file a new certificate at any time if the number of your

exemptions increases.

You must file a new certificate within 10 days if the number of

exemptions previously claimed by you decreases because:

(a) Your spouse for whom you have been claiming exemp-

tion is divorced or legally separated, or claims her (or his)

own exemption on a separate certificate.

(b) The support of a dependent for whom you claimed ex-

emption is taken over by someone else.

tion must be dropped for federal purposes.

The death of a spouse or a dependent does not affect your

withholding until the next year but requires the filing of a new

certificate. If possible, file a new certificate by Dec. 1st of the

year in which the death occurs.

For further information, consult the Ohio Department of T axa-

tion, Personal and School District Income Tax Division, or

your employer.

3. If you expect to owe more Ohio income tax than will be

withheld, you may claim a smaller number of exemptions;

or under an agreement with your employer, you may have

an additional amount withheld each pay period.

4. A married couple with both spouses working and filing a

joint return will, in many cases, be required to file an indi-

vidual estimated income tax form IT 1040ES even though

Ohio income tax is being withheld from their wages. This

result may occur because the tax on their combined in-

come will be greater than the sum of the taxes withheld

from the husband’s wages and the wife’s wages. This

requirement to file an individual estimated income tax form

IT 1040ES may also apply to an individual who has two

jobs, both of which are subject to withholding. In lieu of

filing the individual estimated income tax form IT 1040ES,

the individual may provide for additional withholding with

his employer by using line 5.
