What is W-4 (vie)?
Form W-4 (vie), Employee's Withholding Certificate (Vietnamese Version), is the Vietnamese-language edition of the IRS Form W-4 that an employee gives to an employer so the employer can withhold the correct amount of federal income tax from wages.
The Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues the form under OMB No. 1545-0074. Its printed title is "Mẫu W-4 Chứng Nhận Khấu Lưu Thuế của Nhân Viên", and the form text and instructions are in Vietnamese. This edition is for tax year 2026, and the IRS directs readers to www.irs.gov/FormW4Vie for the latest changes.
The form explains the stakes. If too little is withheld, you will usually owe tax when you file your return and may owe a penalty. If too much is withheld, you will usually get a refund. Your withholding may also be reviewed by the IRS.
It has five steps. Step 1 is personal information and filing status. Steps 2 to 4 apply only in certain cases: multiple jobs or a working spouse, dependents and other credits, and other adjustments. Step 5 is the signature. An employer-only block follows. Pages 3 and 4 hold the Multiple Jobs Worksheet and the Deductions Worksheet, which you keep for your records, and page 5 holds the tables used with the Multiple Jobs Worksheet.
Who needs to file W-4 (vie)?
Employees who want their employer to withhold federal income tax from their pay complete Form W-4 (vie) and give it to the employer. You complete a new form when changes in your personal or financial situation could change the information on it.
Some Steps apply only to certain people:
- Step 2: you have more than one job at the same time, or you are married filing jointly and your spouse also works.
- Step 3: you want to account for qualifying children under 17 or other dependents, or for other tax credits.
- Step 4: you have other income, you expect deductions beyond the standard deduction, or you want extra tax withheld.
- Exemption from withholding: you had no federal income tax liability in 2025 and expect none in 2026. Both conditions must be true.
Nonresident aliens should read Notice 1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens, before completing the form. If you have self-employment income and want to pay tax on it through withholding, the form directs you to the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App. The form does not describe anyone signing for the employee.
When to file W-4 (vie)
Give Form W-4 (vie) to your employer so withholding is set correctly, and complete a new one whenever changes in your personal or financial status could change the information in its steps. The form suggests using the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App if you complete it after the start of the year, expect to work only part of the year, or have changes during the year in marital status, number of jobs, dependents, other income, deductions or credits.
If you claimed the exemption from withholding for 2026, it covers only that year, and you must give your employer a new Form W-4 by February 16, 2027.
If you use the Multiple Jobs Worksheet, the form says to send a new Form W-4 for all your other jobs if you have not updated your withholding since 2019. The form sets no other due date.
Documents you need
- Your most recent pay stub for this year, only if you use the IRS estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App, which the form recommends for part-year work, mid-year changes and other cases.
- The completed Multiple Jobs Worksheet (page 3), only if you choose option (b) in Step 2; its result goes in Step 4(c) and the worksheet stays with your records.
- The completed Deductions Worksheet (page 4), only if you want to enter deductions in Step 4(b); line 15 goes on the form and the worksheet stays with your records.
How to fill out W-4 (vie)
Enter your name and Social Security number
In Step 1(a) write your first name and middle initial and your last name, and in Step 1(b) your Social Security number. If your name does not match your Social Security card, contact the SSA at 800-772-1213 or www.ssa.gov.
Enter your address
In Step 1, write your street address, then your city or town, state and ZIP code.
Check your filing status
In Step 1(c), check one box: Single or Married filing separately; Married filing jointly or Qualifying surviving spouse; or Head of household. Check Head of household only if you are unmarried and pay more than half the cost of keeping up a home for yourself and a qualifying person.
Decide which steps apply to you
Complete Steps 2 to 4 only if they apply to you; otherwise skip to Step 5. Consider the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4app if you complete the form after the start of the year or your situation changes during the year.
Complete Step 2 for multiple jobs
If you have more than one job, or you are married filing jointly and your spouse works, choose one option: (a) the estimator, (b) the Multiple Jobs Worksheet on page 3 with the result entered in Step 4(c), or (c) the box if you have only two jobs in total. Check the box on both Forms W-4 if you use (c).
Enter dependents and other credits
In Step 3(a) enter the amount for qualifying children under 17 and in Step 3(b) the amount for other dependents, following the form's multipliers. Add other tax credits and enter the total on the Step 3 line, completing this step on only one Form W-4.
Add other income and deductions
In Step 4(a) enter other income that is not from jobs, such as interest, dividends and retirement income. In Step 4(b) enter line 15 of the Deductions Worksheet on page 4; if you skip it, withholding uses the standard deduction.
Request extra withholding
In Step 4(c) enter any additional tax you want withheld each pay period, including the result of the Multiple Jobs Worksheet, line 4.
Claim exemption only if you qualify
Use the Exemption from withholding box only if you had no federal income tax liability in 2025 and expect none in 2026. Then complete only Steps 1(a), 1(b) and 5.
Sign and date in Step 5
Sign and date Step 5 under the penalties-of-perjury statement. The form is not valid without your signature.

How to submit W-4 (vie)
You give the signed form to your employer. The form's heading says "Give Form W-4 to your employer", and the form names no other channel, address or portal.
- To your employer: hand over or send the completed page 1 through whatever process your employer uses for payroll forms. The employer completes the For Employer Use Only block: employer's name and address, first date of employment and employer identification number (EIN).
- Keep for your records: the Multiple Jobs Worksheet (page 3) and the Deductions Worksheet (page 4). Enter only their results on page 1, in Step 4(c) and Step 4(b).
- Using the estimator: if you use the IRS estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App, have your most recent pay stub for this year ready.
If you do not give your employer a validly completed form, the form's privacy notice says you will be treated as single with no entries on the form. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving Step 5 unsigned. The form states that it is not valid unless you sign it.
- Completing Steps 3 to 4(b) on the Form W-4 for every job. Complete them on only ONE form, and leave them blank on the others; withholding is most accurate on the form for the highest-paying job.
- Skipping Step 2 when you have more than one job at the same time, or when you are married filing jointly and your spouse also works.
- Checking the Step 2(c) box with more than two jobs in total, or checking it on only one of the two Forms W-4 when it must be checked on both.
- Checking Head of household when you are married, or when you do not pay more than half the cost of keeping up a home for yourself and a qualifying person.
- Claiming exemption from withholding without meeting both conditions, or completing steps other than 1(a), 1(b) and 5 on an exempt form.
- Forgetting to give your employer a new Form W-4 by February 16, 2027 after claiming exemption for 2026.
- Including self-employment income in Step 4(a); that step is for other income that is not from jobs or self-employment.
- Entering a name that does not match your Social Security card, which the form says to correct with the SSA.
