- On completion of Screen #4, the caluclations for Form W-4 are made
- and the results are displayed on the screen. The display follows
- the worksheet for Form W-4 line by line. The form W-4 requires
- rounding to report the total exemptions...the program will not
- round but will allow you to adjust upward or downward for a minor
- safety factor (remember the penalties).
-
- INPUT: On entering amounts, round to the nearest dollar.
- When asked for a response of Yes or No respond with
- a Y or N.
-
- After the display of the W-4, the program then asks if you want
- a printed copy. Be sure your printer is attached and on and
- a response of Y will provide you with a copy of the Form W-4
- worksheet.
-
- If you anticipate a tax liability after withholding, you are entitled
- to have an additional amount of money witheld (beyond the table).
- When you prepare the actual W-4 form add that estimated amount.
-
- This release will not compute it. It is anticipated that future
- releases will.
