USNH New England State Withholdings

From Deborah Williams, Business Office:

As of January 1, 2017, USNH will begin withholding state income taxes for those employees living in the following states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont. USNH Human Resources and Payroll departments have added a page in WISE with the appropriate information regarding the withholding process.

• State income tax withholding should be based on the state in which you are considered a resident for income tax purposes. This is especially important for students. (If you are unsure which state this is, you should talk to your parents or a personal tax advisor.) In order to determine the state of residency for USNH employees, we have used either the postal mailing (PM) or residence (RA) address in Banner/ WISE as of October 1, 2016. If you believe your PM address record is incorrect, you should immediately log in to WISE to update the address with the correct information. In addition, if your PM address is just a PO Box, you will need to update your RA address in WISE.
• Each employee living in the above states will also need to complete a state withholding form. When completed, the forms should be printed, signed, and sent to USNH Payroll via US Postal mail or interoffice mail to 5 Chenell Drive, Concord 03301. The forms must be received by USNH Payroll by December 9, 2016. If you are identified as living in one of these states and do not return a form, state income taxes will be withheld at the rate required by each state. (Note that some student workers may not reach the minimum income level to trigger withholdings.)
