Welcome to the Community, @Solidlinesolutionsllc. A W-4 is a tax withholding form employees fill out—it sounds like you want to pay yourself as a W-2 employee through payroll. The setup depends on your business structure.
Can you share your business entity type with us? This will determine the correct way to pay yourself. While it is possible to handle your own payroll, seeking advice from an accountant is also recommended as this transition involves complex legal and tax requirements that differ based on your business structure.
Please note that you need an active Payroll subscription to pay yourself as an employee and have taxes withheld. Without payroll, you can't process employee paychecks or handle tax withholdings. To set yourself up as a W-2 employee in QuickBooks Online Payroll, you would add yourself as an employee and enter your W-4 information during setup—just like any other employee. Refer to this article for the step-by-step process: Add your new employee to QuickBooks Payroll.
Should you be interested in adding Payroll to your subscription, kindly visit the QuickBooks' plans and pricing page.
