Form W4 - New Guidelines

OVERVIEW

In 2020, the IRS significantly revised the W4 form. Instead of employees simply completing the information about marital status and number of exemptions; they now have to calculate withholding to include additional amounts if they have a second job, a spouse with a job, or self-employment income. This was in response to what the IRS deemed a significant increase in liabilities owed by individual taxpayers at the end of tax years.

This took a lot of workers and payroll managers by surprise. Simple instructions became a complex maze of projections and calculations in order to compute the amount of FIT and SIT withholding from employee pay checks. So, join Mark Schwartz for this webinar, where you can learn to help employees complete this form.
