Hi there, @pipeman.
Thank you for joining to the thread.
W-4 is employee's withholding allowance certificate. The way you fill out this form determines how much tax your employer will withhold from your paycheck. You can follow the steps provided by Michael K above.
Though, QuickBooks calculates the federal withholding based on these 4 factors:
- Number of allowances/dependents
- Taxable wages
- Filing status
- Pay frequency
We'll need to verify the employee's details to make sure it set up accurate.
You can also read this article for more detailed and information about: Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer's Tax Guide.
Please get back to me if you have further concerns about Taxes. I'm here to lend you a hand. Have a great day!
