MMC Benefits Handbook
Getting Paid
When you are hired, you should fill out a W-4 form and a state tax withholding form if your state requires it. If you don't fill out a tax withholding form, your filing status will default to:
-
single with zero withholding allowances for federal
-
single with zero withholding allowances for state.
This will cause you to be taxed at the highest possible rate.
