Handling Claims For More Than 10 Allowances

If the employee claims more than 10 allowances, you must send a copy of the W-4 to the IRS and to the appropriate state tax authorities. The IRS and state authorities may independently issue notices rejecting the claim and reducing the number of allowances.

Attention: Ensure that you have set the correct effective date before entering any tax information.
