Rock the 2026 FPC Exam – Master Payroll Fundamentals with Confidence!

The W-4S form is specifically used to request federal income tax withholding from sick pay. This form is typically completed by employees who receive sick pay from their employer or other entities and wish to have federal income tax withheld from those payments. It provides the employer with the necessary information regarding the employee’s withholding preferences to ensure compliance with tax obligations.

The other options do not align with the purpose of the W-4S form. The Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return relates to payroll tax reporting, the Notice of Levy on Wages refers to a legal requirement for withholding pay to satisfy debts, and an Employee Record of Time Worked pertains to tracking hours worked for payroll purposes. Each of these serves a distinct function within the realm of payroll and taxation, but none address sick pay withholding in the way the W-4S does.
