If you’re filling out a Form W-4, you probably just started a new job. Or maybe you recently got married or had a baby. The W-4 also called the Employee’s Withholding Certificate, tells your employer how much federal income tax to withhold from your paycheck.

The form was redesigned for the 2020 tax year. The biggest change is that it no longer talks about “allowances,” which many people found confusing. Instead, if you want an additional amount withheld, you simply state the amount per pay period.
