When an employee selects Illinois on the W-4 State Selection screen above they are brought to the screen below to complete the Illinois State W4 form.

Step 1 – Figure your basic personal allowances

  • Instructions for the form are on the top and bottom of the screen
  • Line 1 is a calculated value that sums the number of boxes you have checked.
  • Line 3 is also a calculated value that automatically sums the amount from Line 1 and the number of dependents the employee entered in Line 2.
  • Line 4 the employee can choose any number equal or less than the amount of Line 3.

Step 2 – Figure your additional allowances (image above)

  • Line 5 is a calculated value that automatically sums the number of boxes checked above.
  • Line 7 says “Enter the result on Line 7”. However, this is a calculated value that automatically divides line 6 by 1,000 and rounds to the nearest whole number. No entry or calculation is needed by the employee in line 7.
  • Line 8 is a calculated value that adds lines 5 & 7.
