Thank you again for your help, Emina!
I called in recently to TutrboTax with still lingering questions about the W4. I was told by the young man who helped me that they didn’t really mean anything or change anything as far as the employer was concerned. All the W4 really did was make the employer aware that I was also withholding. In other words…and according to him…the W4 had absolutely nothing to do with the employer’s withholding. Which again is quite confusing because if that’s the case why does one need to be completed at all?
And why did this start?! Why are we suddenly required to complete W4s and must a person complete one? Is it legally required to do so? Just don’t understand why with everything so confusing in this world why add something else that now messes with my money?! The one thing a lot of folks look forward to each year is a tax refund. Now a W4 is robbing folks of that?! I can’t….
(My sincerest apologies. I realize I went on a bit but with everything I’ve read still I’m not understanding the point of this W4 and why it’s now necessary.)
