Updated 2024 W-4 form
Due to the enactment of Senate File 565 being passed by the Iowa Legislature in 2023, the Iowa withholding tables and the IA W-4 were revised, effective January 1, 2024. The Iowa Department of Revenue (IDR) is encouraging all employees to fill out the new IA W-4. Some important things to note:
- You are allowed to complete the new form electronically, but you will need to print, sign and scan/send to payroll@centralriversaea.org.
- Please complete the form as soon as possible and return it to payroll no later than January 10.
- The main difference to note between the new forms is that the old form was numbers and the new form requires dollar amounts.
- If you had an additional dollar amount removed from your previous W-4 and you want that amount to carry over, you must fill out and submit a new W-4 to have that dollar amount removed from your pay stub. *This amount does not carry over from the old form. This is on “line 7” on the new W-4 form.
- Compare your January check to your December check to see if the change is reasonable. (i.e. – if you’re used to $400 coming out but only $200 came out, tax tables may have changed slightly for 2024, so you will want to compare to know where to make your adjustments.)
- You can change this form at any point during 2024.
- Line 1, 3, and 5’s instructions on the second page help walk you through what dollar amounts* you will use to figure out your allowances.
*A reminder that we cannot provide tax advice, so any questions should be directed to your tax preparer or an outside tax expert.
