W-4 Form
All new hires must provide the Payroll department with Forms W-4. The amount of employees' federal income tax withholding, and, often, state income tax withholding, is determined by entries on this form. Employees indicate their marital status and the number of withholding allowances on these forms. Employees may also indicate that they're exempt from income tax withholding. Worksheets are attached to assist employees in making these calculations. W-4 forms remain in effect until employees update them. Forms must be signed under penalties of perjury. The IRS updates this form every year. Continue W-4 Form.

- Can students automatically claim exempt on their W-4 forms?
- What are my responsibilities with regard to an employee who has never provided me with a Social Security number (SSN)?
- An employee has a habit of changing her W-4 form several times a quarter.

Just how many times a year can an employee refile a W-4?

- An employee refiled his W-4 to claim an exemption from income tax withholding and 99 allowances. Along with this form, he provided me with a copy of an article claiming that income taxes are illegal. What should I do?
