The IRS has issued a new form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Certificate, to be used beginning Jan. 1, 2020. This change stems from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which went into effect in 2018 and eliminated personal exemptions and doubled the standard deduction when filing personal taxes. This new form and accompanying Tax Withholding Estimator are meant to ensure you have the proper amount of federal tax dollars withheld from your paycheck. Click here to review more information.
