titleWhy are my taxes so high this month?

Your gross pay is larger than usual. Increases in gross pay can be because of: 

  • A large taxable reimbursement
  • Back pay paid 
  • A bonus

Example: Large Taxable Reimbursement

Your Payroll Options

Request an Optional Payroll Bonus for Taxable Reimbursement Expenses

  • Designed to help offset taxes you're paying on the paycheck due to the reimbursement, in hopes of making your paycheck closer to the "normal" amount you receive  
  • The optional 25% bonus is added to your paycheck. (It's not paid to you when the reimbursement is paid.)
  • It helps with taxes, but the bonus is also taxed. 
  • The bonus comes from the MTD account you are responsible for.
  • When completing your reimbursement form, you will be asked if you would like to receive the taxable reimbursement bonus.

Request fewer taxes withheld one-time.

If you expect a large paycheck, you can request that fewer taxes be withheld by emailing payroll@reliant.org.

In the case that an employee wants to make a one-time Federal tax change to a certain paycheck (without making a permanent change to their federal withholdings), the employee may send an email to payroll@reliant.org before 16th day of any given month in order to affect the following month's paycheck. The email should be from the employee's @reliant.org email account and must clearly state how much money the employee would like withheld for the specific pay date. 

For example, an employee could send an email stating "From my XX/XX/XXXX (Month/Day/Year) paycheck, please withhold $X (specify the dollar amount) in Federal taxes".

See Tax Info & Forms (Link to Federal W4) for more information.
