IRS Tax Withholding Rate Suddenly Increased to 30% - Anyone Else?

Hey everyone,


I just noticed that my IRS withholding tax rate on Udemy suddenly jumped from 10% to 30%, even though I didn’t submit any new tax forms or make any changes.

Has anyone else experienced this recently?


Could it be an error on Udemy's side or something related to U.S. tax rules changing?

Appreciate any insights – thanks in advance!

    Yes i too faced this issue. I submitted new form. It is still under review.

  • @Kiran after submitting a new form, 30% reappeared, something is definitely going on.

    Whats the status? Untill it is approved it shows default 30% I guess. Once it is approved u may see the reduced one.

    Did u submit new one? Mine is still showing under review

  • @Kiran I did, still the same

  • This is what is showing for me:

    "Your tax documentation has been approved. Based on your current status, your IRS withholding tax rate is 30%. Your tax form will remain valid through 2027-12-31. "

    I have submitted a new application to try and fix this.

    For me it is in 'under review' status since 3 days and future payments blocked

    Hi @lightlitebug, @Kiran, @peter_dalmaris @KrystianWojtarowicz, Thank you for raising this topic! If you've submitted a new tax form, the withholding rate will be based on the information provided in that form. I recommend that each of you reach out to the support team, as they can provide you with detailed information regarding your account. You can contact the team by accessing the Help Center article here by clicking the "contact us" button.

  • Thank you @ElianaC , I have resubmitted my tax form, and contacted the support team. A bit stressful, considering the timing of this increase.
