Tax Withholding of Student Wages
Wages paid to a student employee through the payroll system are subject to federal income tax, state income tax, and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) withholdings. Federal and state taxes are dependent on the student’s gross income and how the student files their W-4 and A-4 forms. The number of credit hours a student is enrolled for at the end of the drop/add period determines where or not FICA tax is withheld. For information on credit hours requirement, please visit https://cfo.asu.edu/fs-studentwages
Direct Deposit
Strongly recommended that employees sign up for (or update) Direct Deposit. Go to My ASU > My Employment > Payroll > Direct Deposit and follow instructions to set up your direct deposit information.

W-2
Your W-2 reports all taxable wages received during the calendar year and all taxes withheld from those wages. The form is like an annual report that enables you to file your personal federal and state income tax returns. Even if you have consented to receive your W-2 electronically, you can review your W-2s dating back to 2013.
Annual W-2s include all employee wages paid between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of the previous year. Wages earned after Dec. 26 of the current year will be paid in January of the following year and are not included on the current W-2.
Find your year-to-date earnings, taxes and deductions to reconcile your W-2 in My ASU > My Employment > Payroll tab > View Paycheck > select the final pay date for the year.
