Hi bnuhopper!
The Form W-4 should be provided to you by your employer. It only requires you to fill out a few lines of information and tax withholding calculators can help you figure out what to input on each of those lines. To use it, you'll need to know some basic information about your tax situation. These factors typically include:
- Filing status
- Number of dependents you plan to claim on your return
- Age of those dependents
- Information about pay from jobs
- Pension income
- Contributions to tax-advantaged accounts such as 401(k)s, HSAs, FSAs, etc
- Adjustments to income such as student loan interest paid
- Whether you take the standard deductions or itemized deductions
- Any tax credits you take advantage of
- Other sources of income and tax payments
Step 4(c) on the form allows you to select to have extra withholding if you need to in order to avoid a big tax bill at the end of the year.
