Don't they know that from the W-4? Or does that not go to the IRS

I'm not sure if it does or not, but you can have one W-4 per paycheck, so I thought it was just used to figure out your withholding. The amount withheld shows up on your W-2.

W-4s are not filled with the IRS. Employers are required to maintain them for inspection whenever the IRS wants though.

There's no reason why they couldn't go to the IRS though. They could quite easily maintain this information and make it easy for you to update it come tax time if it's changed.
