I – SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
If the total on Line 10 is less than zero you may need additional withholding as a result of non-wage income to avoid owing tax on your income tax return. You can calculate the amount of additional withholding as follows:

Multiply number on Line 10 by $110

Divide the result by the number of pay periods during the year (e.g., if you are paid monthly, divide by 12); The result is the additional amount of withholding required per pay.

EXAMPLE: Total on Line 10 is “-2” and you are paid once a month.
You should notify your employer on a Delaware Form W-4 that your withholding allowance should be “0” and an additional $18.33 per pay should be withheld for the current year
(1) Line H = 2 x $110 = $220.00
(2) Number of pay periods = $220.00/12 = $18.33

$60,001 & over $2,943.50 6.60% $60,000
EXAMPLE OF GROSS TAX LIABILITY CALCULATION: If your Estimated Taxable Income (Line 8) is $12,000:

PAY: $261.00 + ((12,000 - 10,000) × 0.048)
= $261.00 + (2,000 × 0.048)
= $261.00 + 96.00
= $357.00
