How to Adjust Your W-4
If the estimated tax above doesn't match what your employer is withholding, you may need to update your W-4:
- Too much withholding (big refund): Claim additional allowances or reduce extra withholding on your W-4.
- Too little withholding (owe taxes): Reduce allowances or add extra withholding per paycheck.
- Life changes: Update your W-4 whenever you get married, divorced, have a child, or start a side job.
