Updates to Form WH-4
Form WH-4, Employee’s Withholding Exemption and County Status Certificate, has been updated with the following changes:
- A new checkbox to declare if the employee moves or works in another county after January 1 and wishes to request a change to a county of residence or work for the next calendar year.
- Line 7 has been added to claim a dependent child for the first time in order to be eligible for a one-time $3000 exemption for the calendar year during which the WH-4 exemption claim is submitted (instead of the current $1500).
See Form WH-4 for further instructions.

Protect Yourself from Identity Theft
The IRS and Security Summit partners “Protect Your Clients/Protect Yourself” campaign recently covered simple actions that tax professionals can take to better protect their clients and themselves from identity theft.
Create a security plan – The Written Information Security Plan, or WISP, is a 28-page, easy-to-understand document developed by and for tax and industry professionals to keep customer and business information safe and secure.
Sign up clients for Identity Protection PINs – IP PINs are now offered to all taxpayers who can verify their identities online, on the phone with an IRS employee after filing a Form 15227 or in person. To obtain an IP PIN, use IRS online tool Get an IP PIN.
Phishing, Spear phishing and Whaling – Beware of phishing scams designed to trick taxpayers into disclosing personal information such as passwords, bank account numbers, credit card numbers or Social Security numbers.
Know the tell-tale signs of identity theft – Watch out for multiple clients suddenly receiving suspicious IRS letters requesting confirmation that they filed a tax return; receipt of e-file acknowledgements for more tax returns than you filed; or when your computer cursors begin to move seemingly on their own.
Help clients protect themselves whether working from home or traveling – Share these cyber-smart tactics with your clients for awareness when conducting online business for personal, business or financial affairs.
