What should income recipients complete?
Employees must complete the federal W-4 and the Iowa W-4 (pdf). The upper portion of the Iowa W-4 is the Centralized Employee Registry (CER) administered by the Iowa Department of Human Services. It was created to assist with the collection of delinquent child support payments and will also help detect unemployment benefits fraud. Instead of using the top portion of the IA W-4, you may complete it online at the Department of Human Services Web site. If you have questions, contact the CER hotline at 1-877-274-2580. Employers are required to submit information on any new hire or re-hire to the CER within 15 days of hire. Pension income A W-4P (pdf) is available for use by those receiving pensions. Because of the pension exclusion on the Iowa return, many taxpayers may want to use the W-4P to reduce the amount of withholding taken from pension checks.
