Howdy,
Texas A&M University is a registered employer with other states and their local taxing jurisdictions. These states and
any applicable local taxing entities have unique tax laws and these laws vary with each state. Some states require TAMU
employees, including student workers who maintain their tax residency for that state, to have State Income Tax (SIT)
and/or Local Income Tax (LIT) withheld even if they perform services outside of that state. Some states also require SIT
and/or LIT to be withheld if a TAMU employee physically works in that state even though the employee maintains their
tax residency in Texas.
Therefore, any employee who claims residency in a state other than Texas will have SIT and or LIT deducted even if
working in Texas. Also, any employee who physically works in a state other than Texas will have SIT and/or LIT deducted
even if claiming residency in Texas.
For State Income Tax reporting purposes please complete the Employee State Income Tax Verification Form along with
the required State W-4 form and if a Pennsylvania resident the Pennsylvania Residency Certification.

Texarkana Withholding Exemption Rules
This is a brief explanation of the rules concerning the taxability of income earned from Arkansas sources while a
resident of Texarkana, Arkansas or Texarkana, Texas. This exemption only applies if the taxpayer is living within
the city limits of Texarkana, Arkansas or Texarkana, Texas. The exemption does not apply if the taxpayer lives on a
rural route or in a town in the surrounding area of Texarkana. This supersedes any previous withholding rules. Any
questions should be referred to the Arkansas Withholding Branch.
Texarkana, Arkansas Residents
Arkansas residents whose permanent residence is within the city limits of Texarkana, Arkansas are exempt from
Arkansas individual income taxes. All income received is exempt while the taxpayer is a resident of Texarkana,
Arkansas. The taxpayer is required to file an Arkansas Individual Income Tax Return and submit all appropriate W2’s and schedules to support the income and deductions. The form AR-TX is also submitted with the tax return
which reports the exempt amount of wages earned from a particular employer.
Arkansas employers are not required to withhold Arkansas taxes on these employees as long as a form AR-TX is
completed stating that the employee actually lives within the city limits of Texarkana, Arkansas and reports the
amount of exempt wages. This form is completed by the employer and given to the employee to be filed with the
Arkansas individual income tax return. A copy is also sent to the State Withholding Branch along with the state’s
copy of W-2’s.
Arkansas employers are required to withhold Arkansas taxes if the employee moves from Texarkana, Arkansas.
The form AR-TX will then report only the exempt amount of wages (Those earned while a resident of Texarkana,
Arkansas)
Texarkana, Texas Residents
Texas residents whose permanent residence is within the city limits of Texarkana, Texas are exempt from
Arkansas individual income taxes on income earned from businesses in Texarkana, Arkansas only. This is the only
income that is exempt. Any income received from any other sources in Arkansas is fully taxable. The taxpayer is
required to file an Arkansas Individual Income Tax Return and submit all appropriate W-2’s and schedules to
support the income and deductions. The form AR-TX is also submitted with the tax return which reports the exempt
amount of wages earned from a particular employer.
Texarkana, Arkansas employers are not required to withhold Arkansas taxes on these employees as long as a form
AR-TX is completed stating that the employee actually lives within the city limits of Texarkana, Texas and reports
the amount of exempt wages.
This form is completed by the employer and given to the employee to be filed with the Arkansas individual income
tax return. A copy is also sent to the State Withholding Branch along with the State’s copy of W-2’s.

TYPES OF INCOME - This form can be used for withholding on all types
of income, including pensions and annuities.
NUMBER OF EXEMPTIONS – (Husband and/or Wife) Do not claim more
than the correct number of exemptions. However, if you expect to owe more
income tax for the year, you may increase your withholding by claiming a
smaller number of exemptions and/or dependents, or you may enter into an
agreement with your employer to have additional amounts withheld. This is
especially important if you have more than one employer, or if both husband
and wife are employed.
DEPENDENTS – To qualify as your dependent (line 2 of form), a person
must (a) receive more than 1/2 of their support from you for the year, (b)
not be claimed as a dependent by such person’s spouse, (c) be a citizen
or resident of the United States, and (d) have your home as their principal
residence and be a member of your household for the entire year or be
related to you as follows: son, daughter, grandchild, stepson, stepdaughter,
son-in-law or daughter-in-law; your father, mother, grandparent, stepfather,
stepmother, father-in-law or mother-in-law; your brother, sister, stepbrother,
stepsister, half brother, half sister, brother-in-law or sister-in-law; your uncle,
aunt, nephew or niece (but only if related by blood).
CHANGES IN EXEMPTIONS OR DEPENDENTS – You may file
a new certificate at any time if the number of exemptions or dependents
INCREASES. You must file a new certificate within 10 days if the number
of exemptions or dependents previously claimed by you DECREASES for
any of the following reasons:
AR4EC (R 12/29/14)
(a) Your spouse for whom you have been claiming an exemption is divorced or legally separated from you, or claims
his or her own exemption on a separate certificate, or
(b) The support you provide to a dependent for whom you claimed
an exemption is expected to be less than half of the total support for the year.
OTHER DECREASES in exemptions or dependents, such as the death of a
spouse or a dependent, does not affect your withholding until next year, but
requires the filing of a new certificate by December 1 of the year in which
they occur.
You may claim additional amounts of withholding tax if desired. This will
apply most often when you have income other than wages.
You qualify for the low income tax rates if your total income from all
sources is:
(a) Single
$11,591 to $15,200
(b) Married Filing Jointly
$19,547 to $24,400
1 or less dependents)
