Question

When are employers required to mail copies of Form W-4 to the IRS?

A. Claims more than 10 withholding allowances
B. Claims exempt from withholding
C. IRS request it in writing
D. Claims 10 withholding allowances and is single

Answer 1

Employers must send Form W-4 to the IRS if the employee claims more than 10 withholding allowances, claims to be exempt from withholding, or if the IRS requests it in writing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Employers are typically not required to send Form W-4 to the IRS. However, there are specific circumstances under which an employer must submit a Form W-4 to the IRS. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines, employers must send the Form W-4 to the IRS if:

The employee claims more than 10 withholding allowances, or

The employee claims to be exempt from withholding, and

IRS requests it in writing due to suspicions of incorrect withholding on the part of the employee.

So, the answer to the question is both A (Claims more than 10 withholding allowances) and B (Claims exempt from withholding), and if the IRS requests it in writing. Option D does not automatically trigger the requirement to send the W-4 to the IRS unless it is accompanied by conditions A or B.
