Veteran Self-Identification
Last Name: First Name: Middle Initial:
This employer is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by
the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212
(VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to
employ and advance in employment: (1) disabled veterans; (2) recently separated veterans; (3) active duty wartime or campaign badge
veterans; and (4) Armed Forces service medal veterans. These classifications are defined as follows:
A “disabled veteran” is one of the following:
o a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of
military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or
o a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
A “recently separated veteran” means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's
discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground,
naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the
laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An “Armed forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval
or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded
pursuant to Executive Order 12985
.
Protected veterans may have additional rights under USERRAthe Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. In
particular, if you were absent from employment in order to perform service in the uniformed service, you may be entitled to be
reemployed by your employer in the position you would have obtained with reasonable certainty if not for the absence due to service.
For more information, call the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), toll-free, at 1-866-4-
USA-DOL.
As a Government contractor subject to VEVRAA, we are required to submit a report to the United States Department of Labor each
year identifying the number of our employees belonging to each specified “protected veteran” category. If you believe you belong to any
of the categories of protected veterans listed above, please indicate by checking the appropriate box below.
I belong to the following classifications of protected veterans (choose all that apply):
Disabled veteran
Recently separated veteran
Active wartime or campaign badge veteran
Armed forces service medal veteran
I am a protected veteran, but I choose not to self-identify the classifications to which I belong.
I am a veteran, but not a protected veteran.
I am not a veteran.
If you are a disabled veteran it would assist us if you tell us whether there are accommodations we could make that would enable you
to perform the essential functions of the job, including special equipment, changes in the physical layout of the job, changes in the way
the job is customarily performed, provision of personal assistance services or other accommodations. This information will assist us in
making reasonable accommodations for your disability.
Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. The information
provided will be used only in ways that are not inconsistent with the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as
amended.
The information you submit will be kept confidential, except that (i) supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions
on the work or duties of disabled veterans, and regarding necessary accommodations; (ii) first aid and safety personnel may be
informed, when and to the extent appropriate, if you have a condition that might require emergency treatment; and (iii) Government
officials engaged in enforcing laws administered by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or enforcing the Americans
with Disabilities Act, may be informed.

General Instructions
Future Developments
For the latest information about developments related to
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.
Exemption from withholding. You may claim exemption from
withholding for 2020 if you meet both of the following
conditions: you had no federal income tax liability in 2019 and
you expect to have no federal income tax liability in 2020. You
had no federal income tax liability in 2019 if (1) your total tax on
line 16 on your 2019 Form 1040 or 1040-SR is zero (or less
than the sum of lines 18a, 18b, and 18c), 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
2020 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 1a, 1b, and 5. Do not complete any other steps. You will
need to submit a new Form W-4 by February 16, 2021.
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 the 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.
F
!
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. Step 3 of Form W-4 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. 972, Child
Tax Credit and Credit for Other Dependents. You can also
include other tax credits in this step, such as education tax
credits and the foreign tax credit. 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 2020 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.

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.

Caution:
Changes to Form WT-4
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has redesigned Form W-4 for the year 2020. As
explained in the DRAFT posted on the IRS website, federal allowances have been
removed. Prior to this change, an employee could use Form W-4 for Wisconsin purposes
if the employee’s federal allowances equaled his or her Wisconsin exemptions. Since
federal allowances have been removed, the redesigned Form W-4 cannot be used for
Wisconsin purposes.
The following applies for Wisconsin withholding tax purposes beginning in 2020:
All newly-hired employees must provide Form WT-4 to their employer.
Existing employees that change the number of their Wisconsin withholding
exemptions must provide Form WT-4 to their employer.
Existing employees are not required to provide Form WT-4 to their employer (unless
the employer requests it) if the employee wishes to maintain the same number of
Wisconsin withholding exemptions used in 2019.
EMPLOYER INSTRUCTIONS for Department of Revenue:
If you do not have a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), contact
the Internal Revenue Service to obtain a FEIN.
• If the Employee has claimed more than 10 exemptions OR has claimed
complete exemption from withholding and earns more than $200.00 a week
or is believed to have claimed more exemptions than he or she is entitled to,
mail a copy of this certificate to: Wisconsin Department of Revenue, Audit
Bureau, PO Box 8906, Madison WI 53708 or fax (608) 267‑0834.

Employee’s Wisconsin Withholding Exemption Certicate/New Hire Reporting
WT- 4
W‑204 (R. 10‑19) Wisconsin Department of Revenue
EMPLOYEE INSTRUCTIONS:
WHO MUST COMPLETE:
Effective on or after January 1, 2020, every newly‑hired employee is
requiredtoprovideacompletedFormWT‑4toeachofhisorheremploy
ers. Form WT‑4 will be used by your employer to determine the amount
of Wisconsin income tax to be withheld from your paychecks. If you
have more than one employer, you should claim a smaller number or no
exemptions on each Form WT‑4 provided to employers other than your
principal employer so that the total amount withheld will be closer to your
actual income tax liability.
You must complete and provide your employer a new Form WT‑4 within
10 days if the number of exemptions previously claimed DECREASES.
You may complete and provide to your employer a new form WT‑4 at any
time if the number of your exemptions INCREASES.
Youremployermayalsorequireyoutocompletethisformtoreportyour
hiring to the Department of Workforce Development.
UNDER WITHHOLDING:
If sufficient tax is not withheld from your wages, you may incur additional
interest charges under the tax laws. In general, 90% of the net tax shown
on your income tax return should be withheld.
OVER WITHHOLDING:
If you are using Form WT‑4 to claim the maximum number of exemptions
to which you are entitled and your withholding exceeds your expected
income tax liability, you may use Form WT‑4A to minimize the over
withholding.
WT-4 Instructions – Provide your information in the employee section.
LINE 1:
(a)‑(c) Number of exemptions – Do not claim more than the correct number
of exemptions. If you expect to owe more income tax for the year than will
be withheld if you claim every exemption to which you are entitled, you may
increase your withholding by claiming a smaller number of exemptions on
lines 1(a)‑(c) or you may enter into an agreement with your employer to have
additional amounts withheld (see instruction for line 2).
(c) Dependents–Thosepersonswhoqualifyasyourdependentsforfederal
income tax purposes may also be claimed as dependents for Wisconsin
purposes. The term “dependents” does not include you or your spouse.
Indicate the number of dependents that you are claiming in the space provided.
LINE 2:
Additional withholding – If you have claimed “zero” exemptions on line 1, but
still expect to have a balance due on your tax return for the year, you may
wishtorequestyouremployertowithholdanadditionalamountoftaxforeach
pay period. If your employer agrees to this additional withholding, enter the
additional amount you want deducted from each of your paychecks on line 2.
LINE 3:
Exemption from withholding – You may claim exemption from withholding of
Wisconsin income tax if you had no liability for income tax for last year, and
you expect to incur no liability for income tax for this year. You may not claim
exemption if your return shows tax liability before the allowance of any credit
for income tax withheld. If you are exempt, your employer will not withhold
Wisconsin income tax from your wages.
You must revoke this exemption (1) within 10 days from the time you expect
to incur income tax liability for the year or (2) on or before December 1 if you
expect to incur Wisconsin income tax liabilities for the next year. If you want to
stoporarerequiredtorevokethisexemption,youmustcompleteandprovide
a new Form WT‑4 to your employer showing the number of withholding exemp
tions you are entitled to claim. This certificate for exemption from withholding
will expire on April 30 of next year unless a new Form WT‑4 is completed and
provided to your employer before that date.
