What is Form W-4?
Form IRS W-4 form, officially known as the Employee’s Withholding Certificate, is an IRS document that employees complete to tell their employer how much federal income tax to withhold from each paycheck. The details you provide, such as filing status, dependents, and any additional amounts, ensure your employer calculates withholdings accurately under IRS guidelines.
What is Form W-4 used for?
The W-4 is crucial for correct payroll tax withholding in the United States. It helps:
● Ensure accurate tax payments - preventing surprises at tax time.
● Avoid underpayment penalties - by withholding enough throughout the year.
● Prevent overpayment - so you’re not giving the IRS an interest-free loan.
Who is required to fill out Form W-4?
You must complete a W-4 if you are:
● Starting a new job.
● Changing your filing status, number of dependents, or other tax-related circumstances.
● Adjusting how much tax is withheld from your pay.
When is Form W-4 not required?
While most employees must submit a W-4, if you qualify for a complete exemption from withholding, you can write “Exempt” in Step 4(c), complete only Steps 1 and 5, and submit the form to your employer. You must provide a new exempt W-4 each year before the IRS deadline.
When is Form W-4 due?
Give your W-4 to your employer when you start (ideally before your first payroll). If you don’t, they will withhold as if you’re single with no other entries.
