As noted in the email you received, some Reliant employees had federal tax withholdings in the months of March-to-October 2023 that are significantly less than previous months' withholdings and appear to be too low. Employees affected by this issue may request a Tax Relief Bonus to help offset the payment of the taxes not withdrawn from their payroll between March through October of 2023. 

If this form is submitted for the November payroll (submitted by end of day 11/5) or December payroll (submitted by end of day 12/1) then, along with the bonus, the same amount as the bonus will also automatically be withdrawn in federal taxes to make up for previously missed withdrawal payments in the same year. However, if this form is submitted from 12/2 through the end of March 2024, then the amount will only be given in a bonus and the individual will be agreeing to use the bonus amount to pay the IRS directly (on their own) for missed tax payments in 2023.  

Employees are eligible for this tax relief bonus to help offset these federal tax amounts owed between March through October of 2023 if they have received an email directly from Reliant stating eligibility as well as the maximum qualification amount for the requested bonus. They must also submit a new W4 to ensure all future federal tax withdrawals are correct. (Here is the Link to the new Federal W4. Please read the green "tip" box explaining details on the new W4 before filling out the new form.)
