# §302-17.65. How to claim the RITA under the two-year process.

- (a) To claim the RITA under the two-year process, employees must file a RITA claim and provide the required tax information that the agency requests.
- (b) Agencies will calculate the actual RITA after the employee submits their RITA voucher and the required tax information. Employees should perform the RITA calculation for themselves, as a check on the agency's calculation, but they are not required to put the “right answer” on the voucher that is submitted to claim the RITA.
