Our payroll system hasn’t even updated to the W4 it’s been a straight nightmare

[@plentyofpaper]

My employee just gave me one of these, and I wasn't aware how different the system was. I'm going to need to teach myself how to process these. I'm hoping it's simplified on the employer's end. At a glance, it looks like a lot of the complexity has moved to the employee's side of things.

[@jamieschag]

How are payroll people able to compute 2020 federal tax from an employee's paycheck if the employee hasn't updated their W4? Do they try and base it off of their 2019 W4. This new way of doing things is ridiculous. What happens if an employee has a ton of overtime for the year? Even after inputting all these figures(which is a violation of my privacy if you ask me), will they still be under in taxes at the end of the year? This is so confusing! Ugh!🙄

[@plentyofpaper]

@@jamieschag There are a separate set of calculations for the new and old style W4s. The old ones are more or less the same as before, just with updated numbers. I'll learn how to do the new ones probably later today or tomorrow.

And the whole reason the IRS released this new form was to be easier to fill. Yet we have to watch a video to figure out how to fill it out instead of just claiming a number as before. This new form should be a lot more accurate for taxes. But it's idiotic for the to claim it's easier to fill out if you have to do calculations. All my coworkers just want to put the number to claim not have to do calculations. And yes I know it's only for new hires. I know I'm going to get a lot of blank looks from new hires when I have to explain this new form. Finally, great video, thanks. Explains everything about the new W$4

[@seanpaul1551]

@@ohhgeebigmack420 If the two of you agree to file married/joint then both W4's need to indicate this. If you have children involved then you'll need to decide who and how to carry the children. For example if there's one child, both parents do not need to indicate this on the W4 form. If you both carry the same amount then you'll likely under withhold and owe next year. Additionally concerning income, you will both need to check the box on the right side 2c if incomes are similar. If not you will need to refer to the worksheet on the back pages in case someone needs additional withholding.

This was a big help, this is something I wish would’ve been taught in school. Starting a new job and was totally confused before I found this video.

[@BeccaD79]

Wish we were taught this stuff in high school! We weren't told we had to fill out a new W-4 at work, so I wonder how my employer is determining how much go withhold?

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Seriously, they need to teach this stuff earlier!

[@tritirio.8805]

We'll be doing our own taxes this year due to covid and it's starting to get pricier every year. The more we make the more they charge us lol!

[@MsSmashone]

They determine by what you fill out.

[@joannamerrill5660]

I will definitely be sharing this with our entire staff!

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Thank you so much Joanna! You're best, I appreciate the support!

[@brendaflores6446]

Thanks so much. It was so easy to fill out W4. I just started a new job and this always trips me up. Greatly appreciate it.

[@cliffescobedo9955]

What happens if I have a job that is my highest paying job, then I have 2 more jobs that I make way less then my first job, how do I fill out the W4 for those jobs?

[@jonibrzezinski7174]

Great video! I was freaking out that I would need to explain this to new employees. Thanks

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Hi Joni, I'm happy to help! Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it Joni!

[@chuckh.5529]

This has been shared to my HR team as well. Damn, great explanation. Going to redo my own W4's now too.

[@jenni_can2]

I am starting a 2nd job this month. I have the new w4 I am suppose to fill out. This jobs income will be much less than my 1st jobs income. So is it true that I only need to fill out sections 1 and 5 for this new job? And should i do a new w4 for my 1st job to do the dependents?

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Hi Jennifer, in your case, you will fill out STEP 2 on your W-4 for your higher paid job. On your lower paid job's W-4, you just complete STEPS 1 and 5.

10-10 this is the perfect video !!!!

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Thank you Luis Luna, 10-10 your comment was perfect!!!

[@dexterjackson27]

Thanks to your video, my take home pay just increased about $200 per month !

[@brittanydw1148]

This is the first that iv heard of this new form! I'm kinda pist that no one at our jobs has had us update anything. Thanks for the help!! You may have saved our butts on this. This seems complicated. I'm so anxious I'll do it wrong.

[@michaelonyemenam258]

Im 16 and I'm a minor starting to get my first job, but in order for me to work my Manager said I need to fill this w-4 out. What do I do!!?? Please help

[@sueka2519]

You should do example from each filing status and give example like you did. That would benefit more instead saying if, that and not.

[@clearvaluetax9382]

That's a good idea Sueka!

[@laurachillura1819]

Excellent explanation of the new 2020 Federal W-4 Certificate!! Highly recommend watching if you want to know how to complete this form!

[@vanhuynh2907]

Thank you for making these informative videos. It has been very helpful and easy to understand. Financial/tax paperwork can be overwhelming to me but you, sir make them more bearable. Kuddos. Subcribed 👍

[@dtaddeo2202]

This is good. Is this a must or can we just use the 2019 version? why they have to make changes so different than the norm is beyond me?

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Hi D Taddeo, no, completing and updating your 2020 W-4 is not required. Your settings from 2019 would carry to 2020. However, if you want to update your withholdings, yes, you need to use the 2020 version.

[@vg7985]

IRS wants your money faster.

[@clearvaluetax9382]

@@vg7985 How do I super like this comment?

[@FanFickChick1992]

I'm struggling to understand why I have to put the amount from my calculation on step 4 from the Step 2 (b) form on the extra withholding line. Why do I have to have extra funds withheld if they are already taking out my taxes with this and my other job (for which I have already filled out a W-4).

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Hi Akihito, please watch 3:17 of the video until 4:50 to understand why. I hope that helps, Happy New Years!
