Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You do not have to provide the W-4 to the old employer.  The issue will be having the proper amount withheld from the new job.  

  • You should calculate your expected earnings from your old job. 
    • This will include any additional income you will get in the next couple of months.
    • Enter that number on the W-4 on Step 4 line 4a.
  • Present the completed form to your new employer.

If you do not provide the second employer with the W-4, the payroll department will start the withholding process from the beginning.  That means they will not take taxes for the standard deduction and will start taxing at the lowest income percentage.
