How do I update my employee's tax settings?
These are the steps to change your employee’s tax settings (like filing status or additional withholding) in your account on the Poppins website:
- Click on Employees.
- Click on View Details
- Click the Edit button next to Federal Tax Settings or State Tax Settings (if applicable).
- Make the necessary updates and click on Save Changes when finished.
Note: Saving these changes will reset the active payroll for this employee, including revising the wages to the new default amount. Please review the next payroll carefully after saving changes on this page.
Why would you need to update your employee's tax settings?
You would update your employee's tax settings if they want to make a change to their tax elections, like filing status, amount of dependents, or adding an additional withholding amount per paystub.
Any changes should be reflected on a new W-4 or state withholding form (if applicable), which must be filled out by your employee. You should keep the form(s) for your records.
