To ensure taxes withheld are accurate based on an employee’s work location, the University of Colorado begins withholding state taxes from the states in which these employees perform their work on Jan. 1, 2018. Employees with an out-of-state mailing address were asked to submit their W-4 form for the state in which they complete their work.

If an employee’s information was not updated, their withholding deductions have defaulted to their state’s minimum requirements, which could result in more taxes being withheld from their paycheck.

Encourage your department employees to review their pay advice and withholdings to confirm they are accurate. If it is incorrect, please call Employee Services at 303-860-4200, option 2. 

Employees may still submit their state’s W-4. Find your state W-4 form here, and mail or fax it to Employee Services. Refunds will not be issued by the University; they must come from the state in which taxes are withheld.
