Going Paperless with Online W-4 Tax Automation

Shelby Klingerman, Content Curator |

At RECONNECT 18, one session covered the option of going paperless and moving to an automated online W-4 tax form. This move to an online form is an effort to empower employees and give them a chance to implement self-service.

The Benefits of Self-Service

Before considering the specifics on W-4 tax automation, it’s important to first think about why self-service is beneficial. Here are some of the top benefits of self-service:

  • Moving away from paper and manual processing saves on costs.
  • It increases accuracy and timeliness.
  • Redundancy of traditional record updates is eliminated, so productivity is increased.
  • It empowers employees to handle their own data, giving them a better sense of control and connection to HR.

Things to Consider

There are also some considerations that you will need to address if you decide to move to a paperless, online W-4 tax form.

  • Staying in compliance as forms change.
  • Ensuring that employees properly complete forms.
  • Keeping Payroll in the loop.
  • Tracking and enforcing specific state requirements.
