Federal Income Tax Witholding

Employees complete Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate to determine how much federal income tax to withhold.

The amount of federal income tax withholding depends on

• the employee's filing status,
• the number of dependents claimed by the employee,
• other adjustments including; other income (not from jobs), deductions, and extra withholding, and
• exemptions from withholding that the employee claims.
