Prairie View A&M University is a registered employer with other states and their local taxing jurisdictions. These states and any applicable local taxing entities have unique tax laws, and these laws vary with each state. Some states require PVAMU employees, including student workers who maintain their tax residency for that state, to have State Income Tax (SIT) and/or Local Income Tax (LIT) withheld even if they perform services outside of that state. Some states also require SIT and/or LIT to be withheld if a PVAMU employee physically works in that state even though they maintain their tax residency in Texas.
Therefore, any employee who claims residency in a state other than Texas will have SIT and or LIT deducted even if working in Texas. Any employee who physically works in a state other than Texas will have SIT and/or LIT deducted even if claiming residency in Texas.
