New W-4 form beginning in January
New W-4 form beginning in January
The W-4 Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate form is changing beginning Jan. 1, 2020. The new is very different from previous versions due to federal tax law changes that took place in 2018.
The new form:
- Eliminates withholding allowances.
- Allows you to choose “Head of Household” status.
- Considers if you have multiple jobs or if your spouse works.
- Considers if you have dependents.
- Considers if you have other income and your deductions.
The last day to make any W-4 changes using the 2019 form is Dec. 27, 2019.
If there has been a change in your marital status or number of withholding allowances, please submit an updated W-4 electronically through under the Administrative tab/Administrative Services/Employee menu/ Tax Information/ W-4 Tax Exemptions and Allowances.
The Payroll Department will continue to share more information and helpful resources explaining the new 2020 W-4 form before the Dec. 27 deadline.
