Instructions

Employees complete Steps 1 through 4. Step 1 is personal information and filing status. Step 2 is for multiple jobs or a working spouse. Step 3 claims dependents. Step 4 allows additional adjustments (other income, deductions, extra withholding). Submit to your employer — do not send to the IRS. Update your W-4 when your personal or financial situation changes (marriage, birth, new job).
