Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are W-2 wage earner and you have Balance Due every year, definitely, you need to update your Form W-4.  Looks like you are not having enough withholdings.  Also if you have additional income besides W-2, you need to withhold additional taxes to account for that.  2024 W-4 Calculator below will get you very close to 2025.  An easier way to update W-4 is divide your balance due by number of paychecks remaining and enter that amount on line 4c as Extra Withholding.  For example, if you had balance due $3,000 and you have 15 remaining paychecks in 2025, then enter $200 as additional withholding on your Form W-4. Hope it helps.
