Update your payroll taxes

• If you have an active telecommute agreement or flexible work arrangement, you must submit a new telecommute or flexible work request that includes your updated address.
  • Payroll will withhold taxes based on your physical work location.
  • Note that BGSU does not withhold taxes for states other than Ohio or cities outside of Ohio. Employees are responsible for managing those taxes.
• If you do not have an active telecommute agreement or flexible work arrangement, update your state and/or municipal taxes only if necessary.
  • You don’t have to take any action if:
    • You’ve moved within the same city
    • You’ve never had a courtesy withholding and don’t need one now
  • If you’ve moved into an Ohio city that you want a courtesy withholding for, fill out the Resident Municipality Tax Withholding Request form.
  • If you’ve moved out of an Ohio city you previously had a tax withholding for, fill out the Resident Municipality Tax Withholding Request form to update your current local tax withholding.  
  • If you want to stop your current tax, write the city and “stop” on Resident Municipality Tax Withholding Request form.
  • If you’ve moved within Ohio and are in a new school district, fill out the Employee’s Withholding Exemption Certificate form.
  • If you’ve moved into Ohio from another state, fill out the Employee’s Withholding Exemption Certificate form.
  • If you’ve moved out of Ohio, submit the Employee’s Withholding Exemption Certificate.
• Taking these actions will update the payroll taxes that are withheld from your paycheck going forward. If you need additional help, contact the Payroll Office.
