Description

Overview

This webinar takes a closer look at the IRS Form W-4 for 2023 and what’s in store for payroll in the new year. This includes the requirements for completing the form properly, handling non-resident aliens, state equivalent forms, record retention and processing the form electronically instead of on paper. We will also discuss best practices for processing more efficiently within the department.

Background:

The importance of the Form W-4 is fundamental to the payroll department. It is the foundation for the taxation of an employee’s paycheck as well as a required IRS form.  Failure to handle the form correctly and completely can open the door to serious problems not only in properly withholding from the employee’s gross wages but could extend beyond the regulations and affect payroll customer service or employee morale. It can also lead to costly expenditures of time and budget resources to correct non-compliance consequences. 

Questions arise in processing the forms almost daily in a payroll department. Is it a valid form? If not, what should payroll do to correct the problem? Did the employee check the box on Line 2c? Did the employee complete Step 4? These are the types of questions that must be answered to process the form completely and correctly. And it is not just the federal form that payroll must process; many states have their own version of the form and now do not permit use of the federal form for state tax withholding.

Topics Covered Include:

  • Review of the latest draft form W-4 for 2023
  • Review of the employer instructions and publication 15-T
  • Examples of calculating income tax withholding
  • Discussion of how to handle calculating income tax withholding using prior versions of the form
Learning Objectives:

  • How to use the new form W-4 including the various new tables
  • To understand the employer instructions in publication 15-T
  • Discover the various methods of calculating income tax withholding using current and prior year forms W-4.

  • Human Resources Executives/Managers/Administrators
  • Accounting Personnel

Key Terms

Arizona Form A-4: Arizona law requires your employer to withhold Arizona incometax from your wages for work done in Arizona. The amountwithheld is applied to your Arizona income tax due when youfile your tax return. The amount withheld is a percentage ofyour gross taxable wages from every paycheck. You mayalso have your employer withhold an extra amount from eachpaycheck.

Audit: A formal examination of an organization's or individual's accounts or financial situation

California DE4 Form: This certificate, DE 4, is for California Personal Income Tax (PIT) withholding purposes only. The DE4 is used to compute the amount of taxes to be withheld from your wages, by your employer, to accurately reflect your state tax withholding obligation.

Deductions Worksheet Step 4(b): Fill out this section if you expect to claim deductions (such as itemized deductions) other than the standard deduction and want to reduce your withholding. To estimate your 2020 deductions use the Deductions Worksheet provided on page three of the W-4 form.

Dependent: A dependent is a person other than the taxpayer or spouse who entitles the taxpayer to claim a dependency exemption. Each dependency exemption decreases income subject to tax by the exemption amount. Your dependent must be a U.S. citizen, a national, a resident alien of the U.S., or a resident of Canada or Mexico. A dependent can be claimed by one and only one taxpayer in any given year.

Exempt : Exempt employee is a term that refers to a category of employees set out in the Fair Labor Standards Act. They do not receive overtime pay, nor do they qualify for the minimum wage

Form 8233: IRS Form 8233 must be completed when a non U.S. citizen is claiming tax treaty exemption from income taxes for income received for services provided as an independent contractor.

Form W-4SN: Complete Form W-4SN so that your employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay. This form is for those who are single, have one job, no dependents or deductions.

Multiple Jobs Worksheet Step2(b): If you choose the option in Step 2(b) on Form W-4, complete this worksheet (which calculates the total extra tax for all jobs) on only ONE Form W-4. The IRS advises that the worksheet should only be completed on one W-4 form and the result should be entered for the highest paying job only, to end up with the most accurate withholding.

Nonresident Alien (NRA): This income is taxed at a flat 30% rate, unless a tax treaty specifies a lower rate. Nonresident aliens must file and pay any tax due using Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return or Form 1040NR-EZ, U.S. Income Tax Return for Certain Nonresident Aliens with No Dependents.

Notice 1392: This Notice modifies the instructions to Form W-4 to take into account the restriction on a nonresident alien's filing status, the restriction on claiming the standard deduction, and the restriction on claiming tax credits and deductions for certain Nonresident aliens.

Publication 15-T: Employers use Publication 15-T to figure the amount of federal income tax to withhold from their employees' wages.
