What is Form W-4?

Form W-4 tells your employer how much federal income tax to withhold from each paycheck. Employees in the U.S. fill it in when they start a job, and can give a new one whenever their situation changes — for example a second job, marriage or a new child.

Who fills it in, and where does it go?

The employee fills it in and gives it to the employer. It is not sent to the IRS. This is the 2026 version of the form.

How to fill it here

Complete Step 1 (your personal information). Fill Steps 2, 3 and 4 only if they apply to you. Then download the filled PDF and sign Step 5 before handing it to your employer.
