Make changes to your W-4 tax withholdings via UAOnline
November 1, 2024
The latest update to UAOnline allows employees to manage their W-4 tax withholdings directly from their employee dashboard, replacing the current process of submitting a NextGen form to human resources for processing.
- This is one of two new functions added under the taxes drop down menu in the employee dashboard implemented October 31, 2024.
- Any NextGen forms submitted prior to the transition will be processed and honored
through November 7, but after that date the self-service option through UAOnline will
be the only option for making changes to tax withholdings.
The new process
To manage your withholding allowances, navigate to the employee dashboard in UAOnline,
and click on the taxes tab. You will see a new link titled 鈥淲-4 Employee鈥檚 Withholding
Allowance Certificate鈥. This will take you to a screen that displays what is currently
in your W-4 elections. Scrolling to the bottom of that page you鈥檒l find an 鈥淯pdate鈥
link which will take you to a form where you can change your elections.
- Use that form to change your filing status, (e.g. single, married filing jointly, married filing separately) add any qualifying dependents, or manage any additional withholding amounts.
- You also set the effective date, which must be after the date of your last paycheck.
Once you have made the changes that you want, scroll to the bottom and select the option to certify your changes.It will ask you to certify that the form is correct. You'll click 鈥淥k鈥 and then you'll get a notice that everything was updated successfully. If you select 鈥渞estore current elections鈥 no changes will be made.
