Funny to see someone else is testing the poorly labeled system, too.
I, too, tried entering 0 vs 1 'Allowances' and $0 vs $40 'Total Allowance Amt' ... no difference.
AND, my understanding is the 'Allowances' would NOT be an option, for Iowa, as a 'number', it is now to be an $AMOUNT...$0 or $40 and up.
So, I have new W-4's filled out, and NO CLUE how to update Quickbooks, because it doesn't seem Quickbooks has updated how this new data is to be entered....and if 'Miscellaneous Data (Depends on State Selected)' is Quickbooks version of 'update', they have not sent emails to tell us to ignore 'Allowances' and fill in 'Total Allowance Amt' with new info.
SOOOO, until we know FOR SURE this is Quickbooks idea of this change, I have been leaving everyone's previous info alone (leaving Allowances as a NUMBER)
