  • Starting next year, Form W-4 will look a little different.  When the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law in December 2017, it was only a matter of time before sweeping changes would affect Form W-4, too. And those changes—arguably the biggest since the form debuted in 1943—are finally coming to fruition for the 2020 tax year. The main reason for the change? According to a press release from the Treasury and the IRS, the new Form W-4 “reduces th...
