Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The W-4 form is used by the employer to determine the amount of federal income tax to withhold from an employee's paycheck based on their marital status, number of allowances claimed, and any additional withholding requested by the employee. The W-2 form is used to report the actual amount of federal income tax withheld and other wage and tax information at the end of the year, but it does not determine the amount withheld. The 1040 form is used by the employee to file their personal income tax return and reconcile any differences between the amount withheld and their actual tax liability.
