W-4 Form

The W-4 form is now done through the UAOnline employee dashboard. 

You can submit & update your W-4 form through the employee dashboard by following the steps below.  (updates to this form are transmitted directly)

Steps to update Federal withholding: 

  1. Navigate to UAOnline

  2. Login and click on "Employee (Upgraded)"

  3. Open the Employee Dashboard

  4. Under the 'Taxes" Dropdown menu click on “W-4 Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate”

  5. From this page use the "Update" button at the bottom to make changes to your withholding.

Notes of Importance:

  • If you are claiming "Exempt" on your W-4, do not put any values in Steps 2-4. Choose Exempt from the drop-down menu labeled “Deduction Status”. 

  • You can review the instructions from the IRS by clicking the link at the top of the form “W-4”. This link will take you to the IRS W-4 website. 

  • Changes to your withholdings will take place after you select “Certify Changes” at the bottom of the form. Since we pay two weeks in arrears, it may take 1 to 2 paychecks before you see the changes on your paycheck.

  • Employees earning less than $400 bi-weekly will not have federal taxes withheld, as it falls below the taxable income range.
