This is the new Federal Tax withholding form. Complete this form so that the Town of Ocean City can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay. The main difference with this new form is that there is no longer a 1 or 0 deduction. If you want deductions it must be in a dollar amount. There is a worksheet and salary charts that helps calculate your amount, but we highly encourage employees to ask a qualified trusted person to assist you with this form before checking-in for work. If you do not calculate your tax liability correctly, you may end up owing federal tax at the end of the year.
