Personal Data Form

Tax Forms

Work-Study Authorization

Tax Forms can be completed prior to coming to the Library Organizational Development Office, but forms MUST be printed with both the FRONT and BACK.

Forms: Required for all U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents

Helpful Hints for Completing Tax Forms:

  • What's a Withholding Allowance? It represents your total tax deductions divided by the personal exemption rate. The withholding allowance is related to, but not the same as, the number of dependents you can claim on your tax return.
  • If you have more than one job, if your spouse works, or if you itemize your deductions, use the worksheet on Form W-4 page 2. Use this worksheet to calculate the number of allowances to claim instead of relying on your personal exemptions.
  • If you have more than one job, make sure you claim zero allowances at your second job. Claiming "exempt" is not the same thing as claiming zero. By claiming zero, the highest amount of tax will be withheld.
  • You are exempt from income tax withholding only if your income for the year will be less than $800. If you are exempt, skip lines 5 and 6, and write "EXEMPT" on line 7.

Tax Information

Note: Year-end W-2 Forms are in the mail by January 31 each year and sent to the home address filled out on the tax forms. Employees who register with Multi-Factor Authentication may choose to receive their W-2 Form electronically, which can be downloaded and printed from within the FASIS Self Service Portal.  Communication will be sent to all employees regarding electronic W-2 Forms each December.

Requesting a duplicate copy of W-2 form:

  • Contact the Payroll Office                                                                                                                   Phone: 1/847-491-7362                                                                                                                    Email: hrishelp@northwestern.edu
    • Include your full name, University ID (located on the check stub or Wildcard), old and new address.

May be completed prior to coming to the Library Organizational Development Office. If the form is filled out manually, make sure all numbers are written legibly.

Direct Deposit Form

 

New Hires:
Complete the Direct Deposit form immediately upon hire to ensure timely deposit of your first paycheck.

Requesting Changes:                                                                                                                                      Existing employees may submit a new copy of this form at any time to add, change, or remove direct deposit accounts. You can also enroll in Multi-factor Authentication to enter or change direct deposit information online at any time in the FASIS Self Service Portal (nupa.northwestern.edu).
