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 with not receiving a sufficient bonus due to inadequate MTD fund balances may request a an MTD Tax Relief Salary Advance to use MTD funds to help offset the impact of the payment of the taxes not withdrawn from their payroll between March through October of being withheld on 12/15/2023. 

If this Tax Relief Salary Advance Form is submitted for the November payroll (submitted by 5pm EST 11/16) or December payroll (submitted by end of day 12/1) then, along with the advance, the same amount as the advance will also automatically be withdrawn in federal taxes to make up for previously missed withdrawal payments in the same year. 

Employees are eligible for this tax relief advance using MTD funds 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 advance. The maximum is just an estimate of what would have been paid in federal taxes if Reliant had not transitioned to a new payroll system. Employees should analyze their own taxes and seek tax consultation if needed. Employees may choose to request a lower amount on the advance request form. Reliant has put together a page to assist with Calculating Potential Shortfall in Federal Income Tax Withholdings.
