Can an employer report the information on a new employees W-4 form?
An employer may submit a new employee’s W-4 form if they report to each individual state they conduct business in, but must add the required data elements that are not on the form, which include the employer’s State Unemployment Insurance Account Number and the employee’s first day of work. Though, if the employer is registered as a multistate employer then they can only report magnetically or electronically, therefore, the W-4 form is not acceptable. They should contact their reporting state to get a list of the accepted reporting methods for multistate. The MSER Help Desk can either give the employer the list of state new hire reporting requirements or the phone number for the reporting state.
