This non-editable row displays your home address (or mailing address if home and mailing addresses are the same).

The system will look in the Configure State tax Settings screen in Costpoint to find out whether the Allow employees to make State Withholding changes in ESS checkbox is selected. If it is, the Withholding State field will contain a list from which you can select the state that applies.  (If the checkbox is not selected, a non-editable field will display.)

When determining your withholding allowances, consider your personal situation. Use this lookup to select your personal status. If you change the Filing Status, the screen will refresh so that the exemptions/dependents/credits options that were set up on the Configure State tax Settings screen will be reflected for the chosen filing status.

If it applies to your selected state, enter the total number of allowances that you want to claim. The value entered cannot be less than zero or greater than the maximum number of allowances for the state. The more allowances you claim on the State Withholding form, the less income tax your employer will withhold.

If it applies to the selected state, enter the total number of dependents that you wish to claim. The value entered cannot be less than zero or greater than the maximum number of dependents allowed for the state.  

If an additional dependent exemption on Line 6 is being claimed for one or more children for the first time, enter the number of children for whom you are claiming. This exemption is good only for the calendar year in which the WH-4 claiming the exemption is submitted. If you claim this in multiple tax years, you must submit a new WH-4 each year for which this exemption is claimed. Do not claim this exemption if the child was eligible for the additional dependent exemption in any previous year, regardless of whether the exemption was claimed. This includes instances where the child was eligible for the additional dependent exemption before 2023. This also includes instances where the child was eligible to be claimed for the additional dependent exemption by another individual.

This field will only be enabled for State of Indiana.

This field displays the year the additional dependent exemption being claimed for the first time.
