How Virginia payroll deductions work
The Virginia employer formula subtracts its specified deduction and VA-4 exemptions, computes annualized withholding, then divides by pay periods. Federal income tax withholding follows IRS Publication 15-T. Social Security and Medicare follow federal payroll rules.
