The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator is a useful tool, but its accuracy depends on the information you provide. Several factors may cause discrepancies between the estimator's results and your actual tax situation:
- Incomplete or Inaccurate Information: If the information entered into the estimator is incomplete or inaccurate, the results may not reflect your true tax liability.
- Changes in Income or Deductions: Significant changes in income, deductions, or credits throughout the year can affect your tax liability. The estimator may not account for these changes if they occur after you use the tool.
- Complex Tax Situations: The estimator may not handle complex tax situations well, such as multiple sources of income, self-employment income, or significant investment income.
- Withholding Adjustments: If you or your spouse have adjusted your withholding mid-year, it can affect the overall accuracy of the estimator.
