To ensure the appropriate amount of tax withholdings, and that there are no unexpected surprises when it is time to file for 2018 taxes, the IRS is encouraging several groups of taxpayers to do a checkup.
The new tax law changes could have significant effect on the following groups. If you are among one or more of these groups, you are encouraged to visit the Withholding Calculator found on the IRS.gov website.
When completing the online calculator, it is helpful to have a recent pay stub as well as your 2017 tax return on hand for easy reference.
Taxpayers can use the results from the 5-page Withholding Calculator to help determine if they need to complete a new W4 Form with their employer. It is important that these changes be made earlier in the year so that if any additional withholdings need to be made, they can be distributed evenly throughout the remaining 2018 pay periods.
