W4 2020 Instructions

Hello,

We are now using the W4 2020 version. I was hoping to get feedback from users as it is always the best info. For the first ones we used the IRS Worksheet to check what Lawson does.

An employee, single with no dependents work as expected. For a Head of Household with 2000 in the dependent field the IRS worksheet shows the fed tax should be about 123.68 but Lawson is calculating 394.78. That tells us the dependent field isn't working.

I'm not sure if it is a Lawson issue with the new fields or a BSI issue. I have a ticket open with both.

Can anyone share their results?

I was able to get the calculations to match exactly. Are you putting the total dollar amount for dependents and not the total count? For example, if the employee has two dependents under the age of 17, you have to put $4,000.00 (2 * $2,000) in the dependent field on PR13.

Sorry, I just re-read your question and realized you did say you have $2,000 in the dependent field. What is the amount of taxable wages you are using to calculate? I will be happy to share my calculations with you.

Hi, We're having the same issue. I've entered $3752 in the dependent field on tab #2. We were expecting the tax to be $144.30 but Lawson is calculating $321.34.

Similar problem only on a select few employees. We calculate it should deduct $70.32 fed tax but it took $20.05 instead. On another we calculate $0 tax system took $0.87.

Do you mind to share taxable wages, multiple jobs box checked/not checked and pay frequency.

After further research, our employee's taxes are correct with the $2000 in the dependent field it takes 0 tax. Without that it takes $76 federal tax according to our calculations that is correct.
