Example Scenarios

Below is an example of running the Exemption Expiration report. It is not a comprehensive list of every scenario.

Example - Identify employees who may require an updated Form W-4 – Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate.

In this scenario, I need to identify employees who may require an updated Form W-4 – Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate. As a payroll processor, I am going to run the report to ensure our agency complies with the IRS requirement that an individual's exemption from federal tax withholding, claimed on a Form W-4, is only valid for the calendar year in which it is filed. An updated form must be submitted by February 15 of the new tax year.

On the report selection screen:

  • Period: Current Year
  • Selection Criteria:
    • Employment status = 3
    • Personnel area = 1790

Selection section with Employment status field highlighted.

  • Execute the report.

Exemption Expiration Report results displayed.

  • The resuts show one employee in my agency with an active exemption. I will review the employee’s  Withholding Info W4/W5 US record and if appropriate, follow up with the employee for an updated Form W-4 to ensure compliance of this exemption.
