Pay the Right Amount in Taxes
This year “Tax Day” was extended by the IRS to May 17 as the deadline to file and pay. May is also a good time of year to review your tax withholdings. Did you receive a large refund? While it is always nice to get money back, you’ve also been giving the government an interest free loan. Did you have to pay-in? While tax time may not be the most enjoyable, it can be made worse by owing money or if you have to pay a penalty. In a best case scenario you are paying each month from your paycheck that you owe. No more and no less. For advice on how to get your tax withholdings right, visit the IRS website or talk to your tax advisor. Adjustments can be made by faculty and staff to your W4 in eBusiness suite employee self-service.

Virtual Healthcare Services
UnityPoint and MercyOne hospitals and clinics have online systems that allow patients the opportunity to contact their care teams virtually. Through these platforms you are also able to request prescription refills, access test results, and read provider notes. Doctor on Demand, UNI’s option for a virtual office visit, allows 24/7 care for common symptoms. Utilizing these services lowers the risk of exposure and illness.

We are thankful for the service of all of UNI's retirees! With their consent we are able to celebrate their years of service and share their information with the entire campus community.
