Optional Information

Answer

Dear XXXXXXXX,

They will take out less if, when he gets married, he completes a new W-4. He would change his marrital status and his number of exemptions on the W-4, and submit it to his employer. The employer is required to take out taxes based on W-4 information. In the absence of a W-4, the employer must take out at the default rate of single with zero exemptions.
