Published February 5, 2009 | By Nancy Smyth

As a business owner thinking of hiring new employees in 2009, you need to be aware that there is a new IRS form W-4 that must be completed.

Additionally, employees who claimed “exempt” in 2008 and want to again for 2009 must submit a new W-4 by Friday, February 13, 2009 AND the employee’s 2009 income cannot exceed $950.00, cannot include more than $300.00 in unearned income such as interest and dividends – AND the employee must be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.
