USA W-4 Information entered incorrectly

[mellanie]

I had an employee enter dependents in Quickbooks payroll as single digits instead of the amount, like we used to in 2019?
For instance, 2 dependents should be entered as $4,000 but this employee just put a 2.
How badly does this effect that persons taxes?

There will be over withholding so it is not bad! I would kick the W4 back to employee to fill it correctly.
