How Do I Fill Out a W-4 in Pennsylvania?
The Internal Revenue Service requires you to complete a W-4 form when you start a new job in the state of Pennsylvania or have changes to your taxpayer information. These changes include a new filing status, a second job or the birth of a child. Your Pennsylvania employer will provide you with a copy of the W-4 form, and you should return the completed signed form to your employer. This form helps your employer determine the appropriate amount of taxes to withhold from your paycheck.
