Actual Email Exchange between myself (ME) and the Payroll Manager (PR MGR) concerning a W-4 I submitted for our Chief Estimator(CE):
ME: Attached is CE's W-4.
PR MGR: He is claiming 25 and our limit in our system is 10. If I put in 25 then it will default to 0 exemptions.
ME: How did his paycheck go through for PR weekending 05/10/2009?(I had sent in the W-4 prior to the last payroll with the 25 exemptions on it) It took out the right amount of taxes. Does 10 exemptions create no tax liability and then only the amount in Line 6 will be taken out for taxes?
PR MGR: He wanted a set amount deducted so we put that into the system to deduct.
ME: So is his W-4 OK then with 25 or do we need to do one with 10 on it? CE wants to keep the taxes the same as the last paycheck for the rest of the year. If by putting 10 exemptions on the W-4 accomplishes that then we’ll do it but if it withholds more in fed and state taxes then we have a problem changing his W-4.
PR MGR: It is currently set up to ignore the tax tables and take the dollar amount that he indicated for state and federal taxes.
Do you see a pattern here? anyone anyone...
She would not answer my questions so I gave up and I'm not sending another W-4 for the CE until she answers my questions. This lady is not smart by any stretch of the word.
