oh and p.s. on the federal W-4, you can no longer check an 'exempt' box in any event! the payroll software will determine whether your income is low enough that it does not warrant any tax being withheld.
you can cheat the system to force no withholdings by erroneously completing step 5b, but there is not a simple check box to indicate you are exempt from withholdings, like there was years ago.
