How to process payroll
Instruct all employees to complete a w-4 form so that you can properly calculate federal tax withholdings on wages.
This form is used to document the worker's filing status. You also use the w-4 form to calculate the number of allowances the employee wants.
Both the filing status and the allowances impact the amount of federal tax withheld from wages. The worker's filing status can be married, single or head of household.
