    OMB No. 1545-0074

    2020

  • Step 1: Enter Personal Information

  • Complete Steps 2–4 ONLY if they apply to you; otherwise, skip to Step 5. See page 2 of this form (Federal W4 Withholding) in your onboarding instructions for more information on each step, who can claim exemption from withholding, when to use the online estimator, and privacy.

  • Step 2: Multiple Jobs or Spouse Works

  • Complete this step if you (1) hold more than one job at a time, or (2) are married filing jointly and your spouse also works. The correct amount of withholding depends on income earned from all of these jobs.

    Do only one of the following:

    (a)Use the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App for most accurate withholding for this step (and Steps 3–4); or

    (b)Use the Multiple Jobs Worksheet on page 3 and enter the result in Step 4(c) below for roughly accurate withholding; or

    (c) If there are only two jobs total, you may check the box below. Do the same on Form W-4 for the other job.

    This option is accurate for jobs with similar pay; otherwise, more tax than necessary may be withheld.

  • TIP: To be accurate, submit a 2020 Form W-4 for all other jobs. If you (or your spouse) have self-employment income, including as an independent contractor, use the estimator.

    Complete Steps 3–4(b) on Form W-4 for only ONE of these jobs. Leave those steps blank for the other jobs. (Your withholding will be most accurate if you complete Steps 3–4(b) on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job.
