Let’s talk about the W-4
11/20/2019
© Integrity Data 2019. All rights reserved© Integrity Data 2019. All rights reserved
New W-4 for 2020
Why the change? Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017
– Eliminated personal “exemptions”– Doubled the standard deduction– Increased child tax credits– Eliminated &/or restricted several itemized
deductions– SALT (State & Local Tax)– Mortgage Interest– Charitable Contributions– Other Deductions (e.g. Unreimbursed
employee expenses & Tax prep fees)
© Integrity Data 2019. All rights reserved© Integrity Data 2019. All rights reserved
W-4 for 2020 – Common Questions• What’s Pub. 15-T?
• No more “Circular E” Section 17?• Are employees required to complete new form?
• No
• Can employers require employees to complete a new form?• Yes
• Will Federal W/H change if the employee does not complete a new W-4 for 2020?• Yes, but no more so than in years past due to tax table changes
• Are these changes final?• Almost – some minor tweaks due end of November for W-4 / December for 15-T
• What’s the Withholding estimator?• Used by taxpayers with more “complicated” tax situations (webinar coming from IRS)
© Integrity Data 2019. All rights reserved© Integrity Data 2019. All rights reserved
New W-4 for 2020 – “Old” form
© Integrity Data 2019. All rights reserved© Integrity Data 2019. All rights reserved
New W-4 for 2020• No more exemptions
(aka “allowances”)• “Multiple Jobs” = Higher tax tables• Line 3: “Dependents” credit• Line 4a: “Other Income”• Line 4b: “Deductions”• How do I file “Exempt” or
or “NRA” (Nonresident Alien)?
