Avoid Tax Time Surprises: Check Your Withholding Now! πΈ
Since taxes are "pay-as-you-go," adjusting your withholding early prevents unexpected tax bills or huge refunds when you file in 2027. If you recently filed your 2025 tax return, right now is the perfect time to run your numbers through the free IRS Tax Withholding Estimator.
Why Use the Estimator? π
Checking your withholding once a year helps you align your taxes with recent life changes (like a new job, marriage, buying a home, or having a baby). By doing this early, you can:
Prevent penalties and avoid owing money.
Increase your take-home pay instead of waiting months for a refund.
If adjustments are needed, youβll simply submit an updated Form W-4 (Employeeβs Withholding Certificate) to your employer, or adjust the amount you voluntarily set aside if you are self-employed.
What You Need to Get Started π
To get an accurate estimate, make sure you factor in all income sources, including full-time wages, side gigs, and the sale of goods/services (reported on Form 1099-K). Have these documents handy:
All current income statements (including your spouse's, if filing jointly).
Data from any other earnings.
Your most recent income tax return.
Got a complex tax situation? π§ If you are responsible for the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), or have long-term capital gains or qualified dividends, refer to Publication 505 (Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax) for specific guidance.
