Tax Information
W4 and W2 Tax Forms
The W-4 tax form helps calculate the amount of federal income tax that should be withheld from your pay. It considers factors such as your family situation and number of dependents. You can alter your W-4 at any time during the year by logging into your myHR account and selecting Employee Federal and State W-4 under the Pay and Leave menu.
The W-2 tax form is provided to you by your employer at the end of the year and includes information such as: wages earned, federal and state taxes withheld, and your Social Security contributions. You can view and print your W-2 at the end of the year by logging into your myHR account and selecting View Your W-2 Form under the Pay and Leave menu. W-2 forms from previous years can also be found there.
Kansas City Local Tax Fund Eligibility
Employees who are teleworking outside of Kansas City may be eligible for a refund of any local taxes paid through payroll during each tax year. Although the University will continue to deduct this 1% local tax from all employees, this particular group is encouraged to explore how to file a refund directly with the city.
While Human Resources is dedicated to serving each and every employee at UMKC, we are unable to provide tax advice and recommend contacting a certified and competent tax professional with any tax questions. You can explore more information regarding Kansas City, Missouri taxes at KCMO.gov.
