Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks so much for your help and patience!

 

I have one last question: Since I am now qualified for the tax exemption(first $5000), should I 

 

1. clarify the tax exemption on W-4 (if there is a way to do it)before the first paycheck to avoid any tax withholdings for the first $5000 income; 

 

or 2. get standard tax withholdings throughout 2022 and then claim the excessive tax withholdings for the first $5000 income back when I file for the 2022 tax return in 2023. 

 

Will both methods work?  Based on what I have known, maybe approach 2 is more common? 

 

Thanks again!
