Frequently Asked Questions
Why adjust your IRS Form W-4?
Adjusting your W-4 ensures your employer withholds the correct amount of federal income tax. Over-withholding results in a large tax refund (an interest-free loan to the government), while under-withholding causes a surprise tax bill and potential penalties.
