IRS Form W-4 Employee’s Withholding (Exempt)

IRS Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding, Please be aware that employees claiming “exempt” from withholding during 2019 on their IRS Form W-4, must complete a new Form W-4 by February 15, 2020, to maintain their “exempt” status. If employees claiming “exempt” do not provide their employer a newly completed W-4 by February 15, 2020, the employer must begin withholding federal income tax as if they are single, with zero withholding allowances. Any Taxes withheld after February 15, 2020, and by the time the employee furnishes a new Exempt W-4 are not refunded; since the employee did not have a valid W-4 on file during that time.  Should you have any questions, please contact the Payroll Department at (956) 548-8391.
