Many employees are wondering why more federal taxes are not being withheld. For those who have been employed with Reliant prior to our payroll conversion, one of the reasons is that our new payroll system interprets the W4 form options differently than our previous system. The other reason could be that the employee is using an outdated (prior to 2020) W4 and needs to submit the latest version. Reliant is not allowed to tell employees how to fill out their W4 form, but we can educate them on what happens with the options that they are able to choose. For married couples, this option typically withholds less taxes (there's a higher threshold before taxes begin to be deducted):

If claiming dependents, the new W4 deducts a credit from your total tax withholding per child. Therefore, if the desired outcome is to allow for more taxes to be deducted per paycheck you may NOT want to take this dependent credit on your form. |
