Fill out each form included in your link. Here is a list of possible forms. Click on the form title below for details and tips on filling out that form. Please follow these guidelines for filling out all forms: 

  • Red text boxes are required fields and must be completed before submitting
  • Once you have completed each box, it will turn green to know it has been completed
  • Other text boxes may not be required but you may need to complete them for your hire to be correctly processed
  • Read each text box carefully to ensure you type in the correct information
  • Manually type into the text boxes as auto-fill features usually cannot determine the correct fields and do so incorrectly 
  • Use your full legal name as it appears on your Social Security Card
  • By signing and submitting these forms, you are verifying that all information is correct to the best of your knowledge according to your current situation and allowing Reliant to process your hire according to the information on these forms.

This federal tax form directs Reliant on how to handle Federal tax withholding on your paychecks. Below is an example of a filled-out Federal W4 form with instructions. 

Please remember to open your PAYSTUB emailed to you each month and review the amount being withheld for your taxes so that you can make adjustments to your chosen W4 options as needed. A new W-4 can be submitted at any time by following the directions on this page: Tax Info & Forms (Link to Federal W4). There is also an option to request a one-time tax adjustment (which may be the case when receiving a bonus where the additional income could send you into a higher tax threshold). 

STATE TAXES:

If you live in a state with income taxes, you will also receive a state tax form to complete. Reliant will default to using the home address of the employee as the working address for state and local income tax subjectivity. However, in the case of those in a fixed term residency/internship, it is assumed that the employee will spend most of their time at the church/ministry partner location (rather than working from home), so the city and state of that church/ministry partner will be used for tax purposes.

Some states also have local taxes for municipalities and school districts as well as other types of state taxes such as transit taxes, paid leave, or unemployment taxes. Reliant only withholds local taxes when the local jurisdiction or state requires employers to withhold. Local taxes that are optional for the employer to withhold will not be withheld by Reliant and are the responsibility of the employee to report and file on their own behalf.

If an employee moves to a new state or plans to work in another state for more than a month, the employee bears full responsibility to notify Reliant of a move or change in tax withholding location.

Step 1: Enter Personal Information

Section (a) - please fill in the appropriate information requested for each box.  Be sure to double check your data entry for accuracy.

  • First name and Middle Initial
  • Last Name
  • Address
  • City
  • State
  • Zip Code

Section (b) 

  • Social Security Number 

Section (c) 

  • Select ONE box that best describes your Federal tax filing status
    • Single or Married filing jointly
    • Married filing jointly
    • Head of Household (see instructions before selecting this box)

Steps 2, 3, and 4 below are optional but may be helpful depending on your tax situation. Select items that apply to you to help our system better estimate your federal tax withholding amount. If the below additional options do not apply, proceed to Step 5: Signature

Step 2: Multiple Jobs or Spouse Works

  • If you (1) hold more than one job at a time, or (2) are married filing jointly and your spouse also works, you may choose to check box (c) if there are two jobs total for your household and if those jobs are similar in pay.  Otherwise, you may elect to leave this box unchecked.  
  • Note: Reliant cannot advise you on this selection so please make sure you read the instructions carefully and seek outside professional tax assistance if needed. 

Step 3: Claim Dependents:

  • Multiply the Number of qualifying children under age 17 by $2,000 
    • See example above, 1 child = $2,000
  • Multiply the number of other dependents by $500
    • See example, enter $500 for a spouse that you claim (spouse doesn't work outside of the home) or for an older dependent like a special needs adult living in your household
  • Add the amounts from both boxes above and enter the total on line 3

Step 4: Other Adjustments

  • 4(a) Other Income (not from jobs)

    • This box may be used to indicate additional withholding you want withheld annually to cover other sources of income on which you will pay taxes, such as retirement income or investment income.

    • See example above, if I expect to have $1200 in Capital Gains on which I'll owe taxes for the year, you may want to enter that amount in this 4(a) box.

  • 4(b) Deductions

    •  This box may be used to indicate deductions that you anticipate in excess of the standard deduction amount.

    • See example above, if I expect to have itemized deductions that exceed the standard deduction amount by $5,000, I would enter $5,000 in this 4(b) box.

    • Note: If you anticipate taking the standard deduction when filing your taxes, leave this box blank.

  •  4(c)Extra Withholding  

    • This box may be used to enter additional tax you want withheld each pay period 
    • Note: Reliant pays monthly so these extra withholding taxes would be withheld every month, in addition to your normal taxes for that paycheck.
    • Commissioned/Ordained Ministers may choose to utilize this box to indicate an amount they want withheld as extra Federal taxes that they will use to cover their 15.3% SECA (Social Security/Medicare) obligation, since Reliant does not withhold FICA taxes for these employees.  See Paying SECA Taxes. 

Requesting EXEMPTION from Federal Tax Withholding

  • To claim exemption from federal tax withholding due to Foreign Earned Income Exclusion or other qualified reasons, the W-4 instructions say write “Exempt” in the space below Step 4(c). Then, ensure you have completed Steps 1a, 1b, and 5. There is an "Optional" Box on the form for you to indicate this EXEMPT selection.
  • See example above, please Type in "EXEMPT" to elect this tax setting.
  • Do not complete Steps 2-4 on the form if claiming exemption.
