B. Deductions from Salary Checks Federal and New York State tax laws require the withholding of income taxes from all salary checks in accordance with the number of exemptions claimed by law. Deductions are made from the gross amount of each check for the period of time covered by the check on the basis of the number of exemptions claimed. Social Security tax and medical insurance payments are also deducted. The voucher attached to each salary check indicates all the deductions made. Whenever the number of pertinent exemptions changes, a new withholding certificate must be signed and submitted to the Treasurer's Office.
