In the state of california, is it okay to just fill out the W4 for both state and federal withholding???
In the state of california, is it okay to fill out the W4 for both state and federal withholdings or do you have to fill out 2 seperate forms? I have always only filled out the W4 untill this year in my new job which they made me fill out a DE 4 form.. Is there a reason why this one has to be filled out or why in the past i only filled out the W4??

- It is usually OK to use the W-4 for both but it doesn't allow you to have different withholding for federal versus California. You have an advantage that others do not have.
- Usually an employer uses the same amount of exemptions claimed on the federal W4 to compute state withholding. Perhaps your new employer likes the detail or had people who choose a different amount of state exemptions. I would suggest following up with your HR department on this, just in case.
