Your Pay & Taxes

IMPORTANT: HEALTH COVERAGE TAX DOCUMENTS (Forms 1095-B/1095-C)

Federal legislation (the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act, H.R. 3797) has changed the distribution requirements for IRS Forms 1095. Employers are no longer required to automatically mail paper copies of Form 1095-B/1095-C to employees. Forms 1095-B/1095-C provide information about the health coverage offered to you and your dependents during the calendar year. You may need this information when filing your federal income tax return.

Things to keep in mind

Payroll staff are not tax professionals and cannot provide tax advice. If you need assistance completing the W-4 form, we recommend that you use the IRS resources provided below or consult with a qualified financial advisor or your tax professional.

The W-4 form is used to inform your employer of how much federal income tax to withhold from your paycheck.
Accurately completing the W-4 helps avoid incorrect payments of taxes, which can affect tax returns at the end of the year.
A W-4 form must be completed when starting a new job, or if personal or financial circumstances change.
District staff may complete a new W-4 at any time.
Changes to W-4 information for existing employees will take effect on the next monthly paycheck.
Always review your next wage statement to verify that your changes are correct. Allow up to 3 weeks for processing.

Tax Tip 2025-2026

Taxpayers should check their withholding now to prepare for next year.

Proper tax withholding now is key to avoiding surprises when taxpayers file next year. Making any needed adjustments early means taxpayers won’t have to make a big change later in the year to catch up.

The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator is a free online tool that helps workers, independent contractors and retirees determine if they have the right amount of federal income tax withheld from their paychecks. Using it can prevent taxpayers from having an unexpectedly large tax bill or a substantial refund when they file in 2026.

How the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator helps taxpayers plan ahead
Taxes are pay-as-you-go, which means taxpayers need to pay their tax as they receive their income. They do this through withholding.

For employees, “withholding” refers to the federal income tax portion of each paycheck that an employer takes out for tax purposes. It can also mean the amount from earnings self-employed people and others voluntarily set aside to pay their estimated taxes.

After using the Tax Withholding Estimator, taxpayers can determine if they need to submit an updated Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Certificate, to their employer or adjust the amount they voluntarily set aside for tax purposes.

By adjusting tax withholding, taxpayers can:

Prevent owing money and potential penalties at tax time.
Adjust withholdings to increase take-home pay instead of waiting for a refund.

Use the tool once a year
By using the estimator once a year, taxpayers can manage their estimates based on any personal life change, such as buying a home, changing jobs, having a child or changing their marital status.

For people who recently completed their 2024 tax return, the IRS advises using the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator to consider all income sources such as full-time wages, side jobs and any sale of services or commodities typically reported on Form 1099-K.

Required documents
For an effective tax withholding estimate, taxpayers will need certain documents including:

All income statements, including those of their spouse if filing jointly
Data from other sources of earnings
Their most recent income tax return

Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax, provides instructions for taxpayers with complex tax situations that are difficult to solve through the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator. These cases may involve taxpayers responsible for the alternative minimum tax or other taxes and those with long-term capital gains or qualified dividends.
