IRS Releases 2011 Form W-4<\/div>\r\n<\/div>The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)<\/a> has released the 2011 Form W-4, Employee\u2019s Withholding Allowance Certificate<\/a>. Form W-4<\/a> is used by employers to calculate the amount of federal tax to be withheld from an employee\u2019s paycheck.<\/p>\n

Employees Claiming Exempt Status Must File a New Form W-4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Employees who have provided a Form W-4<\/a> claiming exemption from federal income tax withholding must file a new 2011 Form W-4<\/a> by February 16, 2011 in order to continue their exemption from federal income tax withholding. Employers must start withholding on February 16, 2011 if employees have not provided a 2011 Form W-4<\/a> claiming exemption.<\/p>\n

Employees Changing from Exempt to Non-Exempt Should Also File Form W-4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even employees who are no longer claiming exemption should file a 2011 Form W-4<\/a> so that employers may calculate the proper amount of withholding. If an employee has not provided a 2011 Form W-4<\/a> by February 16, 2011, the employer should withhold based on a previously filed Form W-4<\/a> not claiming exemption, if available or using single, zero allowances, if not.<\/p>\n

Spanish Language Form Is not Yet Available<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spanish-speaking employees may complete Formulario W-4(SP), Certificado de Exenci\u00f3n de la Retenci\u00f3n del Empleado<\/a>. This form is generally released in April of the applicable year. Further information will be available when the form is released.<\/p>\n
