Another W-4 question?
921332
The W-4 form only gets put in your personnel file, it does not get sent to the IRS.  SInce this form rarely changes, you shouldn't sweat havinbg a aform from 2001.  If you want a 2006 form you can go to WWW.IRS.GOV and dowload your own form.\n\nIf you download the 2006 form, I doubt that HR will even notice.

I have found the following website to be low cost & useful for a standard w2, in my experience:\n\nhttp://www.taxslayer.com

Hey, Fireguy,\n\nInteresting question, thanks for holding it open for me.  I hope you post your results when you resolve this.\n\nI called a friend who is a city councilmember in the San Diego area.\n\nHe said to document your problem and submit a request, in person, for a corrected W-2 to your payroll department.\n\nHe said that in his city, El Cajon, that if you do not recieve COMPLETE cooperation, he would welcome your call and help you solve your problem.  He is certain your city council will feel the same.\n\nIt is possible his concern is rooted in a deep concern for your overall welfare and well being.  But, if not, it is likely his reason that under this fact pattern the city paid too much employer taxes!\n\nFor example, if your four months were about 12,000, his city paid about $918 too much!  \n\nDuring the 4 months you did not work, the city does not owe the tax.  If you do not correct the situation, they can not recover their overpayment.\n\nI hope this sounds clear from the city council point of view.\n\nOf course, without a corrected W-2, a tax professional can determine, as you likely could, the correct amounts of other taxes and withholdings, with the understanding that your gross pay is overstated by the 4 months of Workers Comp.\n\nBut, those amounts will all be different than what is on your W-2 now.  The FICA, and other taxes you already paid, are overstated on your current W-2.\n\nYou can always call a professional and ask their opinion before committing them to your return.  Obviously, with a corrected W-2, you can easily handle your own and save paying anyone else a fee.\n\nPlease let me know if I can help further.  I would like to know that you continued to handle your tax forms and paid the lowest possible tax.\n\nGood Luck.\n\nPS I am a volunteer for my local fire department north of San Vicente, Baja, Mexico.

You have 2 dependents and yourself. You should claim 0,1, or 2 dependants plus yourself on your w-4.   0 dependents will get you a bigger federal tax refund next year because you will pay a little more each paycheck than if you claimed 1 or 2. If you get spousal support, you will also be taxed for that money. It's better to claim less dependants on your w-4.

Don't let the others scare you.  You will pay:\n\n6.2% for Social Security\n1.45% for Medicare\n4.3% for Federal (assuming you enter Single 0 on your W-4)\n?% for state\n?% for local\n\nAt worst, 15% will be gone for taxes.  I don't know how Michigan taxes you, so I put in ??.  It can't be much.  Here in PA it is 3.07%.  In CA it would have been close to 0% because you didn't earn much.\n\nI am assuming your parents still claim you as a dependent.  If not, your federal will be lower.  15% is a worst case estimate based on solid assumptions.  As you earnings rise, the percent for federal will rise too, but social security and medicare will remain a constant percentage.  I highly suggest entering Single with 0 withholding allowances on your W-4.  The W-4 is one of the forms your employer will have you fill out when you start work.\n\nGood luck and don't worry so much about taxes.  Try to earn as much as possible!

Take the form 1040 for 04' and the letter to a CPA and let them check into it. We can negotiate with the IRS for you

You can file now, but I'd suggest waiting until you get a corrected w-2 from your employer (talk to HR).\n\nI worked for the IRS last year, and it takes them roughly 10 months until the computers get around to checking whether the income/withholding on W-2s provided by employers matches up with the returns filed.

If your company opts to make your W-2 available to you online, I'm sure they will inform you.  Otherwise you should expect to receive it in person (if you still work there) or by mail.

A company is required to get an employees w-2's in the mail by January 31.  I am not aware of any extensions.  You would be better served by checking on the IRS web page.

It must have been postmarked Jan 31st.\n\nIf you don't receive your Form W-2 (PDF) by February 15, contact the IRS for assistance at (800) 829-1040. Also, you may want to refer to Tax Topic 154, Form W-2 - What To Do if Not Received, to see the specific information the IRS will need in order to prepare Form 4852 (PDF), Substitute For Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099R, Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc

If he is changing the number of withholding allowance or exemptions claimed on his W-4, the form you give your employer so the employer can figure out how much to deduct and send the IRS, that's legal.  One can change the number of exemptions claimed or the dollar amount withheld as long as the amount withheld each quarter and for the year as a whole bears a reasonable relationship to what taxes are ultimately found to be due on a quarterly basis and for the year.  \n\nThis is allowed since other aspects of a taxpayer's life may change during the year, for which he or she might wish to change the amount of taxes withheld.  \n\nYour friend appears to be adjusting his withholding so he has a larger disposable income early in the year, and a smaller disposable income later in the year.

Contact the employer right away- they have a legal obligation to send you a W-2 form.  If you cannot contact them, you need to contact the IRS.

It depends on how many exemptions you want to claim on your W-4 (single, married, 0, 1, 2 exemptions, etc), and what state you live in.  For sure, they'll take 7.65% out for social security and medicare taxes.  No one is exempt from that.  The more exemptions you claim, the less federal and state taxes they'll take out.  Whether or not you pay taxes on April 15th depends on your total income for the previous year.  At 7.25/hr, if you work 40 hrs a week with no overtime, and you are paid for 52 weeks in the year, your total gross income would be $15,080.  If you're married with children and your spouse doesn't work, you most likely won't owe any taxes. But if you're single, and you claim 1 or more exemptions on your W-4 (which determines what comes out of each paycheck), you may owe some in taxes, probably around 10%.  Call your local IRS office and they can give you more specifc answers.\n\nOkay, I posted this answer before you said how old you are.  Your parents will probably claim you as a dependent, so you could get stuck with paying some taxes.  But since you most likely won't work a full year (assuming you're going to school in the fall), I doubt you'll have much taken out.  You can claim  tax exempt status on your W-4 so they only take out the SS and Medicare.

Your employer would withhold 25% for federal income tax purposes if the bonus was paid at a separate time as your regular wages.\n\nHowever, if your employer pays the bonus at the same time as your regular wages it would be based on your W-4 Form.  As of last year, IRS recently stated that they would not require an employer to submit the W-4 Form into the Service if more than 10 exemptions are claimed.  However, if IRS finds at the time you file your income tax return your withholding from your W-4 Form is not enough, they can notify your employer to change your withholding exemptions on your Form W-4.  \n\nTo conclude, first find out when the bonus payment is being made.  If the employer is going to withhold at a flat 25%, then changing your Form W-4 will make no difference.  On the other hand, you may want to change the W-4 Form before the bonus payment is made along with regular wages keeping sure that you send it with plenty of time for the payroll department records your changed exemptions before the wage payment.  You may want to change after the payment though so that you are not being withheld at a lower rate for the remainder of the year.  \n\nAnd, congrats on your bonus!!

You can do it either way. You can print it off the IRS web site or your employer can get you a new one. Don't stress if you are a Little late in turning it in. The have to withhold at the highest tax rate until you fill out the  4-w telling them otherwise

No penalty for not including the W-2 form. Since you will be including the income on your income tax return - the IRS will be able to easily reconcile this information when you submit the return.  You can always provide a substitute W-2 form and include the employer information based on the last paycheck that you received.

They still have to file payroll tax returns they are required to send you the W2, so look for it in your mail.  If you do not get it soon try contacting them.  You are supposed to have it in your hand on January 31, 2006
