Common Mistakes to Avoid

• If you want to claim zero allowances (the highest withholding amount), please enter “0” in line 5 “Total number of allowances you’re claiming”.
• If you type “Exempt” on Line 7 you will not have any taxes taken from your paycheck.
• When completing your W4 information, please enter “0” on line 6 “Additional amount, if any, you want withheld from each paycheck” if you do not want any additional money withheld above your chosen allowances.
• If any required field does not apply to you, especially on the I-9, please enter N/A in the field.
• Required fields show as Yellow boxes with the word “Required” written in them.
