to cover their state personal income tax liabilities. While working with you on preparing their return, some of your clients may realize they need to make changes to their Oregon withholding.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>online withholding calculator</b> at <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/dor">www.oregon.gov/dor</a> to determine the appropriate amount to withhold. If they need to submit a new W-4 for Oregon tax purposes, we now offer
<b>Form OR-W-4 </b>for Oregon employees. This replaces the federal Form W-4 (with “For Oregon Only” written on the top) as the preferred method for documenting state income tax withholding designations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Form OR-W-4 can be downloaded from our website, or we can send you copies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
