The IRS does not receive a copy of your IRS W-4 directly. Instead, your employer keeps this form on file and uses it to calculate your federal withholding. If your employer ever needs to verify your information, they may send data to the IRS. It's important to update your W-4 with your employer if your financial situation changes.
