2. Wage Bracket Method Tables for Manual Payroll Systems With Forms W-4 From 2020 or Later
If you compute payroll manually, your employee has submitted a Form W-4 for 2020 or later, and you prefer to use the Wage Bracket Method, use the worksheet below and the Wage Bracket Method tables that follow to figure federal income tax withholding.
These Wage Bracket Method tables cover a limited amount of annual wages (generally, less than $100,000). If you can’t use the Wage Bracket Method tables because taxable wages exceed the amount from the last bracket of the table (based on filing status and pay period), use the Percentage Method tables in section 4 .
