General Instructions
Purpose of form. Give this form to the third-party payer of your sick
pay, such as an insurance company, if you want federal income tax
withheld from the payments. You aren’t required to have federal
income tax withheld from sick pay paid by a third party. However, if
you choose to request such withholding, Internal Revenue Code
sections 3402(o) and 6109 and their regulations require you to
provide the information requested on this form. Don’t use this form if
your employer (or its agent) makes the payments because employers
are already required to withhold federal income tax from sick pay.
Note: If you receive sick pay under a collective bargaining
agreement, see your union representative or employer.
Definition. Sick pay is a payment that you receive:
• Under a plan to which your employer is a party, and
• In place of wages for any period when you’re temporarily absent
from work because of your sickness or injury.
Amount to be withheld. Enter on this form the amount that you
want withheld from each payment. The amount that you enter:
• Must be in whole dollars (for example, $35, not $34.50).
• Must be at least $4 per day, $20 per week, or $88 per month
based on your payroll period.
• Must not reduce the net amount of each sick pay payment that
you receive to less than $10.
For payments larger or smaller than a regular full payment of sick
pay, the amount withheld will be in the same proportion as your
regular withholding from sick pay. For example, if your regular full
payment of $100 a week normally has $25 (25%) withheld, then $20
(25%) will be withheld from a partial payment of $80.
Caution: You may be subject to a penalty if your tax payments
during the year aren’t at least 90% of the tax shown on your tax
return. For exceptions and details, see Pub. 505, Tax Withholding
and Estimated Tax. You may pay tax during the year through
withholding or estimated tax payments or both. To avoid a penalty,
make sure that you have enough tax withheld or make estimated
tax payments using Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals.
You may estimate your federal income tax liability by using the
worksheet above.
Sign this form. Form W-4S is not valid unless you sign it.
Statement of income tax withheld. After the end of the year, you’ll
receive a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, reporting the taxable
sick pay paid and federal income tax withheld during the year.
These amounts are reported to the Internal Revenue Service.

Changing your withholding. Form W-4S remains in effect until you
change or revoke it. You may do this by giving a new Form W-4S or
a written notice to the payer of your sick pay. To revoke your
previous Form W-4S, complete a new Form W-4S and write
“Revoked” in the money amount box, sign it, and give it to the payer.
Specific Instructions for Worksheet
You may use the worksheet on page 1 to estimate the amount of
federal income tax that you want withheld from each sick pay
payment. Use your tax return for last year and the worksheet as a
basis for estimating your tax, tax credits, and withholding for this
year.
You may not want to use Form W-4S if you already have your
total tax covered by estimated tax payments or other withholding.
If you expect to file a joint return, be sure to include the income,
deductions, credits, and payments of both yourself and your spouse
in figuring the amount you want withheld.
Caution: If any of the amounts on the worksheet change after you
give Form W-4S to the payer, you should use a new Form W-4S to
request a change in the amount withheld.
Line 2—Deductions
Itemized deductions. Itemized deductions 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
adjusted gross income. See Pub. 505 for details.
Standard deduction. For 2020, the standard deduction amounts are:
Standard
Filing Status Deduction
Married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er) . . . . . $24,800*
Head of household . . . . . . . . . . . . $18,650*
Single or Married filing separately . . . . . . . . $12,400*
* If you’re age 65 or older or blind, add to the standard deduction
amount the additional amount that applies to you as shown in the
next paragraph. If you can be claimed as a dependent on another
person’s return, see Limited standard deduction for dependents,
later.
Additional standard deduction for the elderly or blind. An
additional standard deduction of $1,300 is allowed for a married
individual (filing jointly or separately) or a qualifying widow(er) who is
65 or older or blind, $2,600 if 65 or older and blind. If both spouses
are 65 or older or blind, an additional $2,600 is allowed on a joint
return. If both spouses are 65 or older and blind, an additional $5,200
is allowed on a joint return. Additional standard deductions are also
allowed on your separate return for your spouse who is 65 or older
and/or blind if your spouse has no gross income and can’t be claimed
as a dependent by another taxpayer. An additional $1,650 is allowed
for an unmarried individual (single or head of household) who is 65 or
older or blind, $3,300 if 65 or older and blind. See the 2020 Estimated
Tax Worksheet—Line 2 Standard Deduction Worksheet in Pub. 505.
Limited standard deduction for dependents. If you are a
dependent of another person, your standard deduction is the greater
of (a) $1,100 or (b) your earned income plus $350 (up to the regular
standard deduction for your filing status). If you’re 65 or older or
blind, see Pub. 505 for additional amounts that you may claim.
Certain individuals not eligible for standard deduction. For the
following individuals, the standard deduction is zero.
• A married individual filing a separate return if either spouse
itemizes deductions.
• A nonresident alien individual. For exceptions, see Pub. 519, U.S.
Tax Guide for Aliens.
• An individual filing a return for a period of less than 12 months
because of a change in his or her annual accounting period.
Line 5—Credits
Include on this line any tax credits that you’re entitled to claim, such
as the child tax credit and credit for other dependents, higher
education credits, credit for child and dependent care expenses,
earned income credit, or credit for the elderly or the disabled. See
the Tax Credits table in Pub. 505 for more information.
Line 7—Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax
Enter the federal income tax that you expect will be withheld this
year on income other than sick pay and any payments made or to be
made with 2020 estimated tax payments. Include any federal income
tax already withheld or to be withheld from wages and pensions.
