Notes:

•The screen will change and give you many warnings if any box is unchecked. This is because this IS NOT COMMON.

•Just because an employee says they are Exempt doesn’t mean they really are. You may want to double-check if they are truly exempt or if they just don’t want taxes taken out. If they just don’t want taxes taken from their check they may want to increase the number of deductions on the Taxes tab instead.

•They should be made aware that if any box is unchecked the system will NOT track their Federal Withholding/Wages and the corresponding box(s) will be $0 on their W2.

•Also see Frequently Asked Questions / What if my employee states they are exempt from Federal Withholding Taxes?

•If these are changed after initial setup, correcting payrolls will need to be processed. These options should not be changed on this screen. The system will now turn this Special tab Blue if changes have been made and give you a warning on the screen.
