COMPUTER FORMULA METHOD
The overall structure of the formulas used to compute the withholding tax is to calculate the tax on the total wage amount and then subtract
the amount of tax calculated for the personal exemptions and credits for dependents that the taxpayer claims for withholding purposes.
The correct withholding formula depends upon the number of personal exemptions claimed and annual wages. Any taxpayer may use the
single taxpayer withholding formulas; however, those taxpayers claiming 2 exemptions on their R-1300 (L-4) must use the married
taxpayer formulas.
