The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revised the W4-P federal tax withholding form in 2022. SamCERA will begin using the new IRS W4-P forms, which are for periodic payments only, on January 1, 2023. 

If you need to make new withholding elections or make a change to your current elections, it is important to use the correct form based on your submission date to prevent delays with your withholding elections.  

Submitted By 12/15/22: Please continue using the 2021 W4-P form for all tax withholding submissions/changes. SamCERA will reject any 2021 forms received on or after 12/16/22.

Submitted On or After 12/16/22: Please use the new 2022 or 2023 W4-P form for all tax withholding submissions/changes. SamCERA will reject all other forms submitted on or after 12/16/22. Please note, SamCERA will not be able to process any 2023 W4-P withholding elections until 1/1/23.
