Federal Form W-4s provided to employers for tax year 2020 or later

For tax years 2020 or later, withholding allowances are no longer reported on federal Form W-4. Employees should be encouraged to provide Form IT-2104 to their employers to ensure the correct amount of tax is withheld. The failure of an employee to provide Form IT-2104 may result in the wrong amount of tax withheld for New York State, New York City, and Yonkers. If an employee submits a federal Form W-4 to an employer for tax year 2020 or later, and the employee does not file Form IT-2104, the employer may use zero as the number of allowances.
