Form W-4 tells your employer how much federal income tax to withhold from your paycheck. Accurate completion ensures you don't owe a large tax bill or give the government an interest-free loan through excessive withholding. The 2020 redesign eliminated allowances and replaced them with a more straightforward system based on dependents, other income, and deductions.
Step 1: Enter your name, address, Social Security number, and filing status (Single, Married Filing Jointly, or Head of Household).
Step 2: If you have multiple jobs or your spouse works, use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator, the Multiple Jobs Worksheet, or check the box in Step 2(c) for two similar-paying jobs.
Step 3: Claim dependents — multiply qualifying children under 17 by $2,000 and other dependents by $500.
Step 4(a): Enter other income not from jobs (interest, dividends, retirement income) that you want withheld.
Step 4(b): Enter deductions other than the standard deduction if you plan to itemize (use the Deductions Worksheet).
Step 4(c): Enter any additional amount you want withheld from each paycheck.
Step 5: Sign and date the form and give it to your employer.

No. Your W-4 stays on file until you submit a new one. However, you should review it annually or whenever your personal or financial situation changes to ensure your withholding is accurate.
If you don't submit a W-4, your employer is required to withhold tax as if you are single with no adjustments, which typically results in the highest withholding amount.
Only if you qualify for exempt status. Write "Exempt" in the space below Step 4(c). You qualify only if you had no tax liability last year and expect none this year. Exempt status expires February 15 of the following year.
