No...employers defined in the code are federal employers. Private sector employers SOLICIT for W4 forms....they don't DEMAND. If they could DEMAND, they could be demanded to turn-over these forms. [The IRS website DECEPTIVELY leads employers astray that they can demand...but as private sector 'you don't have no stinkin' badges' do you ?....and then WILL not come to their aid. The courts have ruled the IRS NOT RESPONSIBLE for advice or advice in its pamplets...so buyer beware...]
A W4 is a witholding allowance certificate. It ALLOWS the employer to withold. Why is this so? Because a private sector employee is entitled to wages...in a FREE society. Everything must be via consent to be governed.
