Making Work Pay Tax Credit

Congress passed the "Making Work Pay" tax credit. Therefore, the IRS has issued new tax tables which will reduce the amount of federal taxes most people have withheld from their pay. This started with your March 2009 check. The new tables are meant to implement a $400 per individual / $800 per married couple tax credit for 2009.

Please note a word of caution for individuals who have more than one job or married couples with both spouses working; since the new tables will be applied to all jobs, it could leave you with a federal tax liability at the year end. To avoid this problem, you may want ot submit a new Federal W-4 and/or talk with your tax preparer for advice on this matter.

Please see the Notice to Employees that has been provided by the IRS.
