<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">By February 15, payroll offices need to request a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, from each employee who claimed exemption from income tax withholding
last year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">On February 16, any Form W-4 previously given to Payroll claiming exemption from withholding has expired and you should begin withholding by adding an entry to the P010 screen.
If the employee does not give you a new Form W-4, withhold tax as if he or she is single, with zero withholding allowances. However, if you have an earlier Form W-4 for an employee that is valid, withhold based on the earlier Form W-4.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
