IRS Withholding Estimator
What is it?
If you are an employee, the Withholding Estimator can help you determine whether you need to give your employer a new Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate to avoid having too much or too little Federal income tax withheld from your pay.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
With all this competition, simply creating a better product and creating a marketing campaign is no guarantee that you will stand out.
Who Can Benefit From The Withholding Estimator?
Employees who would like to change their withholding to reduce their tax refund or their balance due.
Employees whose situations are only approximated by the worksheets on the paper W-4 (e.g., anyone with concurrent jobs, or couples in which both are employed; those entitled to file as Head of Household; and those with several children eligible for the Child Tax Credit).
Employees with non-wage income in excess of their adjustments and deductions, who would prefer to have tax on that income withheld from their paychecks rather than make periodic separate payments through the estimated tax
procedures.
