Because of federal tax law changes, the 2020 Form W-4 is very different from previous versions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not require all employees to complete the revised form; however, you <u>must<\/u> complete the new form if you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Were hired in 2020.<\/li>\n<li>Currently claim \u201cexempt.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Plan to make withholding changes during 2020.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If you do not submit a new form, withholding will continue based on your previously submitted form.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are completing the 2020 Form W-4, please read the instructions carefully and remember:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You must complete Steps 1 and 5.<\/li>\n<li>Complete Step 2 through Step 4 only if they apply to you. Doing so will make your withholding more accurately match your tax liability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The IRS takes your privacy seriously and suggests that if you are concerned about reporting income from multiple jobs in Step 2 or other income in Step 4(a), you check the box in Step 2(c) or enter an additional withholding amount in Step 4(c). To determine the additional withholding amount, use the IRS\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irs.gov\/W4App\">Tax Withholding Estimator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If your tax situation has not changed, the IRS recommends that you still perform a \u201cpaycheck checkup\u201d to determine if you need to adjust your current withholding. To conduct the checkup, use the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irs.gov\/W4App\">Tax Withholding Estimator<\/a>. It is helpful to have a copy of your most recent pay stub and tax return when using the estimator.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information, please refer to the IRS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/faqs-on-the-draft-2020-form-w-4\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a> or consult your tax advisor or professional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 1, 2020, an updated version of the Form W-4 Employee\u2019s Withholding Certificate will be available on the Pulse through Employee Self-Service and under Departments\u2013Finance\u2013Payroll\u2013Payroll\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
