Step 1:

Enter

Personal

Information

(a) First name and middle initial Last name

Address

City or town, state, and ZIP code

(b) Social security number

▶

Does your name match the

name on your social security

card? If not, to ensure you get

credit for your earnings, contact

SSA at 800-772-1213 or go to

www.ssa.gov.

(c)

Single or Married filing separately

Married filing jointly or Qualifying widow(er)

Head of household (Check only if you’re unmarried and pay more than half the costs of keeping up a home for yourself and a qualifying individual.)

Complete Steps 2–4 ONLY if they apply to you; otherwise, skip to Step 5. See page 2 for more information on each step, who can

claim exemption from withholding, when to use the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App, and privacy.

Step 2:

Multiple Jobs

or Spouse

Works

Complete this step if you (1) hold more than one job at a time, or (2) are married filing jointly and your spouse

also works. The correct amount of withholding depends on income earned from all of these jobs.

Do only one of the following.

(a) Use the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App for most accurate withholding for this step (and Steps 3–4); or

(b) Use the Multiple Jobs Worksheet on page 3 and enter the result in Step 4(c) below for roughly accurate

withholding; or

(c)

If there are only two jobs total, you may check this box. Do the same on Form W-4 for the other job. This

option is accurate for jobs with similar pay; otherwise, more tax than necessary may be withheld . .

▶

TIP: To be accurate, submit a 2022 Form W-4 for all other jobs. If you (or your spouse) have self-employment

income, including as an independent contractor, use the estimator.

Complete Steps 3–4(b) on Form W-4 for only ONE of these jobs. Leave those steps blank for the other jobs. (Your withholding will

be most accurate if you complete Steps 3–4(b) on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job.)

Step 3:

Claim

Dependents

If your total income will be $200,000 or less ($400,000 or less if married filing jointly):

Multiply the number of qualifying children under age 17 by $2,000

▶

Multiply the number of other dependents

by $500 . . . .

▶

Add the amounts above and enter the total here . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Future Developments

Form W-4, such as legislation enacted after it was published,

go to www.irs.gov/FormW4.

Purpose of Form

Complete Form W-4 so that your employer can withhold the

correct federal income tax from your pay. If too little is

withheld, you will generally owe tax when you file your tax

return and may owe a penalty. If too much is withheld, you

will generally be due a refund. Complete a new Form W-4

when changes to your personal or financial situation would

change the entries on the form. For more information on

withholding and when you must furnish a new Form W-4,

see Pub. 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.

Exemption from withholding. You may claim exemption

from withholding for 2022 if you meet both of the following

conditions: you had no federal income tax liability in 2021

and you expect to have no federal income tax liability in

2022. You had no federal income tax liability in 2021 if (1)

your total tax on line 24 on your 2021 Form 1040 or 1040-SR

is zero (or less than the sum of lines 27a, 28, 29, and 30), or

(2) you were not required to file a return because your

income was below the filing threshold for your correct filing

status. If you claim exemption, you will have no income tax

withheld from your paycheck and may owe taxes and

penalties when you file your 2022 tax return. To claim

exemption from withholding, certify that you meet both of

the conditions above by writing “Exempt” on Form W-4 in

the space below Step 4(c). Then, complete Steps 1(a), 1(b),

and 5. Do not complete any other steps. You will need to

submit a new Form W-4 by February 15, 2023.

Your privacy. If you prefer to limit information provided in

Steps 2 through 4, use the online estimator, which will also

increase accuracy.

As an alternative to the estimator: if you have concerns

with Step 2(c), you may choose Step 2(b); if you have

concerns with Step 4(a), you may enter an additional amount

you want withheld per pay period in Step 4(c). If this is the

only job in your household, you may instead check the box

in Step 2(c), which will increase your withholding and

significantly reduce your paycheck (often by thousands of

dollars over the year).

When to use the estimator. Consider using the estimator at

www.irs.gov/W4App if you:

1. Expect to work only part of the year;

2. Have dividend or capital gain income, or are subject to

additional taxes, such as Additional Medicare Tax;

3. Have self-employment income (see below); or

4. Prefer the most accurate withholding for multiple job

situations.

Self-employment. Generally, you will owe both income and

self-employment taxes on any self-employment income you

receive separate from the wages you receive as an

employee. If you want to pay these taxes through

withholding from your wages, use the estimator at

www.irs.gov/W4App to figure the amount to have withheld.

Nonresident alien. If you’re a nonresident alien, see Notice

1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident

Aliens, before completing this form.

Specific Instructions

Step 1(c). Check your anticipated filing status. This will

determine the standard deduction and tax rates used to

compute your withholding.

Step 2. Use this step if you (1) have more than one job at the

same time, or (2) are married filing jointly and you and your

spouse both work.

Option (a) most accurately calculates the additional tax

you need to have withheld, while option (b) does so with a

little less accuracy.

If you (and your spouse) have a total of only two jobs, you

may instead check the box in option (c). The box must also

be checked on the Form W-4 for the other job. If the box is

checked, the standard deduction and tax brackets will be

cut in half for each job to calculate withholding. This option

is roughly accurate for jobs with similar pay; otherwise, more

tax than necessary may be withheld, and this extra amount

will be larger the greater the difference in pay is between the

two jobs.

▲

CAUTION

Multiple jobs. Complete Steps 3 through 4(b) on only

one Form W-4. Withholding will be most accurate if

you do this on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job.

Step 3. This step provides instructions for determining the

amount of the child tax credit and the credit for other

dependents that you may be able to claim when you file your

tax return. To qualify for the child tax credit, the child must

be under age 17 as of December 31, must be your

dependent who generally lives with you for more than half

the year, and must have the required social security number.

You may be able to claim a credit for other dependents for

whom a child tax credit can’t be claimed, such as an older

child or a qualifying relative. For additional eligibility

requirements for these credits, see Pub. 501, Dependents,

Standard Deduction, and Filing Information. You can also

include other tax credits for which you are eligible in this

step, such as the foreign tax credit and the education tax

credits. To do so, add an estimate of the amount for the year

to your credits for dependents and enter the total amount in

Step 3. Including these credits will increase your paycheck

and reduce the amount of any refund you may receive when

you file your tax return.

Step 4 (optional).

Step 4(a). Enter in this step the total of your other

estimated income for the year, if any. You shouldn’t include

income from any jobs or self-employment. If you complete

Step 4(a), you likely won’t have to make estimated tax

payments for that income. If you prefer to pay estimated tax

rather than having tax on other income withheld from your

paycheck, see Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals.

Step 4(b). Enter in this step the amount from the

Deductions Worksheet, line 5, if you expect to claim

deductions other than the basic standard deduction on your

2022 tax return and want to reduce your withholding to

account for these deductions. This includes both itemized

deductions and other deductions such as for student loan

interest and IRAs.

Step 4(c). Enter in this step any additional tax you want

withheld from your pay each pay period, including any

amounts from the Multiple Jobs Worksheet, line 4. Entering

an amount here will reduce your paycheck and will either

increase your refund or reduce any amount of tax that you

owe.

Form W-4 (2022)

Step 2(b)—Multiple Jobs Worksheet (Keep for your records.)

If you choose the option in Step 2(b) on Form W-4, complete this worksheet (which calculates the total extra tax for all jobs) on only ONE

Form W-4. Withholding will be most accurate if you complete the worksheet and enter the result on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job.

Note: If more than one job has annual wages of more than $120,000 or there are more than three jobs, see Pub. 505 for additional

tables; or, you can use the online withholding estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App.

Two jobs. If you have two jobs or you’re married filing jointly and you and your spouse each have one

job, find the amount from the appropriate table on page 4. Using the “Higher Paying Job” row and the

“Lower Paying Job” column, find the value at the intersection of the two household salaries and enter

that value on line 1. Then, skip to line 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 $

2 Three jobs. If you and/or your spouse have three jobs at the same time, complete lines 2a, 2b, and

2c below. Otherwise, skip to line 3.

Find the amount from the appropriate table on page 4 using the annual wages from the highest

paying job in the “Higher Paying Job” row and the annual wages for your next highest paying job

in the “Lower Paying Job” column. Find the value at the intersection of the two household salaries

and enter that value on line 2a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2a $

Add the annual wages of the two highest paying jobs from line 2a together and use the total as the

wages in the “Higher Paying Job” row and use the annual wages for your third job in the “Lower

Paying Job” column to find the amount from the appropriate table on page 4 and enter this amount

on line 2b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2b $

c Add the amounts from lines 2a and 2b and enter the result on line 2c . . . . . . . . . . 2c

3 Enter the number of pay periods per year for the highest paying job. For example, if that job pays

weekly, enter 52; if it pays every other week, enter 26; if it pays monthly, enter 12, etc. . . . . . 3

Divide the annual amount on line 1 or line 2c by the number of pay periods on line 3. Enter this

amount here and in Step 4(c) of Form W-4 for the highest paying job (along with any other additional

amount you want withheld) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Step 4(b)—Deductions Worksheet (Keep for your records.)

Enter an estimate of your 2022 itemized deductions (from Schedule A (Form 1040)). Such deductions

may include qualifying home mortgage interest, charitable contributions, state and local taxes (up to

$10,000), and medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your income . . . . . . . . . . . . 1

2 Enter:

{

• $25,900 if you’re married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er)

• $19,400 if you’re head of household

• $12,950 if you’re single or married filing separately

}

. . . . . . . . 2 $

3 If line 1 is greater than line 2, subtract line 2 from line 1 and enter the result here. If line 2 is greater

than line 1, enter “-0-” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

4 Enter an estimate of your student loan interest, deductible IRA contributions, and certain other

adjustments (from Part II of Schedule 1 (Form 1040)). See Pub. 505 for more information . . . . 4 $

5 Add lines 3 and 4. Enter the result here and in Step 4(b) of Form W-4 . . . . . . . . . . .
