Understanding the Self-Service Form for IRS Form W-4

(Release 9.2 Update) The IRS Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance for ESS program (P085303A) is the program that employees use to enter information needed for the IRS W-4 form. The system saves the values that an employee enters for the W-4 form.

The system administrator needs to create a new version of the IRS Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance for ESS program for each tax year. Processing options that define a range of parameters for W-4 information also need to be set for this program. You must use the Application Versions Interactive program (P983051) to create a new version and to set the processing options.

You can set processing options to automatically notify an administrator when employees change Form W-4 information.
