I appreciate your response! Unfortunately no; the program forces you to add an exemption amount on the main tab of the employee information. It will not allow you to set up accounts and add withholdings and pay types if you don't put in something. So I just put in 0? Maybe there is a magic number I'm not aware of ((As I typed that I thought of the "exempt" status amount being 99, I will try that monday when I get in the office---could be I guess I never tried it)).....I will update if that does work!

Their update to 2020 and later W-4 form was to add a tab in the "employee information" section, labeled "w-4", which you must click the box "w-4 form 2020/later" and THAT tells the program you're using this tabs information NOT the "main" screen information. 

But there are many issues with this. The exemptions need removed from the program completely BUT that would require all companies to update w-4 forms and that's almost impossible for a lot of my clients. Alternatively, that whole section needs turned into a tab and a box created for w-4 form prior to 2020 box needs to be checked when an updated w-4 is not available. 

I'm in no way a software creator, by any means, but the work around for the updated w-4 form is not working. That is one of the things on my list I wish they would update and change. Along with a "notes" tab in employee information (In case anyone reading IS responsible for updating this software-- wink, wink)

 Thanks for making me think. Hopefully 99 will prompt the system? IDK not gonna hold my breath!
