Submits the authenticated employee's US federal tax (W-4) details.

Available for US Global Payroll employees once they reach the
post-enrollment state. Calls made before then return a 404.

This endpoint requires country-specific data. Query the
[Show form schema](#tag/Countries/operation/get_show_form_country) endpoint with `global_payroll_federal_taxes`
as the form name to discover the schema for a given country.

## Authentication

This endpoint accepts any one of the following token types:

- **Employee-scoped access token** (`OAuth2Assertion`) — obtained through the `urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer` grant. See [OAuth Assertion](https://developer.remote.com/docs/authorization-method-oauth-assertion).
- **Company-scoped access token** (`OAuth2AuthorizationCode`) — obtained by the employee through the Authorization Code flow or the Refresh Token flow. See [Authentication for partners](https://developer.remote.com/docs/authentication-for-partners).

## Scopes

Any one of the scopes in a token type's row is enough. `all:write` works too.

| Token type | Category | Read only Scope | Write only Scope (read access implicit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee-scoped access token | Manage employments (`employments`) | - | Manage personal details (`personal_detail:write`) |
| Company-scoped access token | Manage employments (`employments`) | - | - |

## Request body

- EmploymentFederalTaxesParams: Federal taxes schema compatible params.
  - `federal_taxes` object, required: Federal taxes params. As its properties may vary depending on the country, you must query the [Show form schema](#tag/Countries/operation/get_show_form_country) endpoint passing the country code and `global_payroll_federal_taxes` as path parameters.
