Spring cleaning season is almost over! Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home, it’s a great time to refresh your digital spaces as well. For payroll professionals, no database could be more important to keep clean than your employee database. As a payroll specialist, your job is to pay and file things correctly and on time. Accomplishing this is made much easier when your data is clean and organized. Each week in April we will be talking about a different area of your database and how to keep it sparkling! To wrap up the series, we’re talking about Form W-4.
Data Polish #4: Form W-4
Form W-4s from employees and any state equivalent of that form are incredibly important to file correctly. A correct Form W-4 helps ensure you’re withholding the correct amount of federal income tax from the employee’s paycheck. While everyone should fill out a Federal Form W-4, not everyone may fill out a state W-4 equivalent. It depends on the state.
The following states do not require a state income tax form:
- Alaska
- Florida
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Washington
- Wyoming
If your state is not on this list, check your state’s Department of Revenue for its specific state income tax form.
