No federal withholding

SOLVED

I've had 2 separate clients now on PR 2.x find out during W2 processing that one or more employees had no withholding in all 2020.  I just logged into one client with an employee marked as MJ1 who grosses about 23K per year, paid weekly.  That should be around $20/check in Fed WH.  NOTHING is being withheld.  I flipped the Supplemental off and on, no changes.  Has anyone else had a client report this?  In all cases, it is the new W4 choice, not the old 2019 or older withholding selection.

    Look at the IRS guidance.  They have a spreadsheet called income tax withholding Assistant for employers.  It is important information.  Note it is important that the employee fill it out correctly.  If they put married and don't fill in the spouse income it will under withhold.
