(90 minutes, available 12/12)
The IRS has substantially revised the 2020 Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate. It may be completed by an employee in five steps, and none of them involve allowances. Will your employees know what to do? Do they know how to use the IRS's Tax Withholding Estimator? Do you know what to do if a new hire fails to complete a 2020 Form W-4 or wants to claim exempt from withholding?

This on-demand video examines the 2020 Form W-4 and instructions, along with the details you need to guide your payroll team and employees.

During this on-demand video, you will learn:

• How the 2020 form is different from previous forms

Part 2: What Is Publication 15-T and How Do I Use It?

All payroll professionals - even those who use a payroll service provider - must understand how to use the tables and apply them to their actual payrolls.

This on-demand video provides you with clear examples of how to calculate withholding for employees with a Form W-4 from 2019 or earlier or a new 2020 Form W-4.
