How do I know what to claim on my W-4 form?
What are FICA taxes and why do some employees not pay this type of tax?
FICA is a kind of payroll tax deducted from your pay check. The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) provides for a federal system of old-age, survivors, disability and hospital insurance. The old-age, survivors, and disability insurance part is financed by the social security tax. The hospital insurance part is financed by the medicare tax. Each of these taxes is reported separately. The two components are: FICA tax which is 6.2% of all applicable wages and Old age disability Insurance which is 1.45% of all applicable wages. Exceptions to this deduction include students working for a university whose main goal in to obtain an education.

Why is the amount listed on my W-2 different than my UCONNECT statement?
The amount listed on my W2 is not the same as year-to-date earning on my statement in UCONNECT as of December. The year-to-date earnings on your check stub are the actual amounts that you earned during the calendar year. Not all of your earnings are federal taxable; some of your deductions such as annuities and medical insurance are made before taxes. This reduces your taxable income. The amount on your W2 is the federal taxable earnings.
Why are my Federal and State taxable wages different from Social Security wages?
Certain pre-tax deductions such as Section 125 plans including medical, dental, vision, flex medical, and dependent care reduce Federal, State, and Social Security wages. Other pre-tax deductions includes retirement, and annuities reduce only Federal and State taxable wages.
Can you fax a copy of my W-2 to a 3rd Party?
No, due to the confidential information involved.
Can my spouse pick up a copy of my W-2 for me?
No, due to the confidential information involved.
How fast can I get a replacement W-2?
There is a 5-day processing period once you submit the request.
When will the W-2's be mailed out?
W-2's are mailed out no later than January 31 of the following year.
Whom do I notify about an address change?
You can email your address change to payroll at payroll@uco.edu. Also, an address change form is available on the UCONNECT website.
Why do I need a W-2?
W-2s reflect Federal taxable wages earned during the calendar year. It informs employees of their total wages and tax deductions so they may complete their personal income tax return. It provides the information necessary for employees to accurately determine the amount owed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It provides the Social Security Administrative (SSA) with the necessary information so that employees' earnings and benefit accounts are properly credited. The SSA shares employees' earnings and tax information with the IRS.
