I just started a new job and need to fill out a CA DE 4 for payroll. I've never had to do this before, and I'm running into questions about the Estimated Deductions portion. I don't fill out itemized deductions - with prior taxes, I've always used the standard deduction - so I'm confused about what to fill out for this section. Can someone help?

    @blahblahblah10  It sounds like you're filling out the worksheet for that section of the form. According to the instructions for the CA DE 4 form, you only need to enter information for Estimated Deductions if you do plan to itemize. Since you don't, you should be able to leave it blank.  If it's more complex than you can figure out from the instructions link above, you may want to reach out to the Payroll department for your new employer for assistance.
