Help! I cannot enter federal allowances for new employees or change allowances for existing employees.

Question

I'm running Sage 100 Contractor 2019 with the latest upgrades for 2020. 
 So, I go to "5 - Payroll" then "2 - Payroll Processing" then "1 - Employees." After selecting an employee record I go to the calculations tab and I can enter info for the state portion of "Marital" and "Std Allow" but I cannot enter federal info - the boxes are greyed out. 
 Help!

Since the IRS made changes to the federal taxes in January, anyone who still has the federal calculation filled out will have their taxes computed accordingly. If they want a change to their taxes, including additional withholding, you will need to fill out the W4. At which point, it doesn't matter what's on the federal item as the only thing the program will look at is the W4. Our program follows all the changes the IRS has for payroll.
