Let me share some information about updating W-4 filing information to update the W-4 info like federal and state withholding, kayeme,

 

Only the primary/company admin and standard user with payroll access can edit the data in Form W-4 and update the state withholding tax rate. If an employee doesn't have the appropriate permissions, they'll need to contact their employer to make changes to the form. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu.
  2. Select the Employees tab.
  3. Click the name of the employee.
  4. Select Edit, under the Tax withholding section.
  5. Make the necessary changes.
  6. When you're done, press Save.

 

 


If the same thing happens, let's try some basic troubleshooting tests to figure this out. Open a private browser and change the employee state withholding tax. The private mode prevents the cache from being retained while the website is operational, which may cause problems. Here is a list of shortcut keys you can use to access one:

 

  • Ctrl+ Shift + N for Google Chrome
  • Ctrl + Shift + P for Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge
  • Command + Shift + N for Safari

 

 

If it works fine, go back to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh. Moreover, you can use another supported and up-to-date browser to narrow down the result.

I do this all the time.  The problem I have that I save and it shows up in the employee tax withholding area correct.  When I run my next payroll it does not update to what I put in.  So I have to manually change.

 

So the save button doesnt work.  

 

When I go back into the employee information.  All is good.
