W-4 is one of the most common forms Americans fill out. Here are a few things to remember when completing a W-4.

A W-4 is an IRS form that determines the federal tax that will be withheld from an employee’s paycheck. Filling out a W-4 is one of the first forms an employee will complete when hired. When filling out a W-4, make sure the information you write is correct and clear. The most important lines for an employee to complete are lines 1-7 of the “Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate.”Always remember to sign your completed W-4.Always remember to check the appropriate box for filing single or married. If you have questions about your withholdings- or want to verify you are withholding the correct amount, you can visit <a href="http://www.irs.gov/">www.irs.gov</a> and use the<a title="IRS Withholding Calculator" href="http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96196,00.html" target="_self"> IRS withholding Calculator</a>. If you are exempt from taxes- make sure to write EXEMPT on line 7.Any incomplete W-4’s will automatically be defaulted to a tax status of single and 0 withholdings, the highest amount of tax will be deducted from your income.Colorado requires all employers to report all new employees within 20 days of their hire date.
