Understanding the IRS W-4 Form Workfile

After you have run the Personal Employee Information Workfile Build program (R054101) and created the IRS W-4 Form Work File table (F085303W), a system administrator can use the IRS W-4 Form Work File Revisions program (P085303W) to review or change updated employee information. The IRS W-4 Form Work File is the live (permanent) table that stores the temporary information from the IRS Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate table (F053030).

When reviewing employee information, the system administrator can perform any of these actions:

  • Approve the records

  • Reject the records

  • Reset the records to a pending status
