W4 Forms

Human Resources and Student Employment provide IRS Form W-4 Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, and Form NJ-W4 State of N.J. Employee's Allowance Certificate to all new hires for completion. All employees and student workers must complete IRS Form W-4. All employees and student workers working in NJ must complete NJ-W4, except for those employees residing in Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Pennsylvania have entered into a tax agreement that allows the University to withhold PA taxes, instead on NJ taxes, for PA residents working in NJ. The University is required to withhold NJ taxes for residents of all other states working in NJ.

Employees and student workers may update these withholding allowances based upon their individual circumstances. Changes to your IRS W-4 may either be made via Banner self-serve, or by completing and returning an updated W-4 to the Payroll Office. Changes to your NJ W4 are not available via Banner self-serve and must be made by completing and returning an updated NJW4 to the Payroll Office.

  • To change your IRS W-4 on Banner self-serve, log on to PirateNet > Profile > Employment Details > Tax Forms > W4 Tax Exemptions or Allowances > Update (at the bottom of the screen) and follow the instructions provided.

Updated forms should be delivered to the Payroll Office. For security reasons, the Payroll Office cautions against emailing forms containing your Social Security Number. If you are a current employee or student worker updating a previous completed IRS or NJ W4, you may include your campus ID instead of you Social Security Number, and email the updated form to the Payroll Office.
