Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, your employer is supposed to have you fill out a Form W-4 when you start working, assuming that you are an employee and you receive a W-2 form.

 

Since you didn't have enough taxes withheld last year, you should complete a new W-4 form as soon as possible and get some taxes withheld from every paycheck. 

 

Here's how to do that in TurboTax:

 

 

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account.
  2. Select Other Tax Situations. If you have already filed your return, select Add State to get back into your return.
  3. Expand Other Tax Forms and find Form W-4 and Estimated Taxes, select Start or Revisit to the right.
  4. Answer Yes to the question Do you want to change your W-4 withholdings for 2024?
  5. Answer the questions in this section based on your situation.
  6. Print your Form W-4 when you are done and give it to your employer. 

 

If you are a contractor instead of an employee, and receive a 1099-K or 1099-NEC, you will need to estimate the amount of tax that you owe and pay it quarterly. Follow this link to learn more about that.
