Utah Copy of Federal W-4

Employees who work in Utah, where there is no official state tax form, can submit the Utah Copy of Federal W-4 tax form. This is a generic state tax form that is identical to the Federal W-4 form, except certain steps and instructional text that aren't relevant to state tax filing are blurred out so that employees cannot view or edit those areas:

Form showing blurred out text above two active fields that can be filled in.

Only the following lines in the form are editable:

  • 1(c) for selecting filing status
  • 4(c) for entering extra withholding
  • The field at the end of step 4 for claiming exempt status
  • Step 5 where employees enter their name to sign the form

When the form is submitted and processed, a record is added to the State Tax Info section of the Payroll > Tax Definitions screen in People.
