The W-4 form is completed by an individual when he or she first starts a new job.What does this form help to determine?

A W-4 tells an employer how much federal income tax to withhold from an employee’s paycheck. The withholding depends on details such as filing status and other income or deductions. It does not determine the employee’s income or directly determine a refund; state tax withholding is generally handled through a separate state form.
