Thank you for your question!
Changes in your life, such as marriage, divorce, working a second job, running a side business or receiving any other income without withholding can affect the amount of tax you owe. Taking steps to reduce your tax liability can benefit you at tax time, but you may also benefit throughout the year by adjusting your withholding to increase your take-home pay. If you want a bigger paycheck and a smaller tax refund, you can use Form W-4 to make it happen.
I recommend using our W-4 calculator. After answering the questions, it will yield a results page. On this page, you'll be able to see what to input on the W-4. It also includes a slider that lets you see how any changes to the extra withholding would impact your estimated taxes for the year. Note that any changes made to a W-4 later in the year may have an unexpected result if left unchanged for the next year. So revisit it again every year to make sure that you're aligning your withholding with any changes to your tax story.
