JANUARY 2007 HR
QUESTION OF THE MONTH
Q. I
have federal W-4 withholding forms on file from each of my
employees. Must I also have a New York State withholding
form on file from each of my employees?
A. The
New York State employee withholding certificate is the form
IT-2104. According to the IT-2104 instructions, if the employee
does not file an IT-2104 with you, you may use the same number
of allowances claimed on the federal W-4 withholding form.
Employees are urged to file an IT-2104 with the employer
if state withholding allowances are different from the federal
allowances or whenever there is a change in the number of
allowances.
