- payroll tables also changed. Look at how much federal tax you had withheld each year and compare them. If you had less tax withheld, you had more money in your pocket. If you prefer a bigger refund, you should change your W4 at work.
- Also, a raise or bonus may have pushed you into the next tax bracket.
The IRS has a calculator that takes you through all the information and then tells you what to do. You can change your W4 at work as often as you like. You can also use the IRS W4 planner anytime throughout the year.
Each quarter, it is a good idea to pull out your paychecks and verify what you expect your income to look like and check your tax bracket with TurboTax Bracket Calculator. Simply divide your federal withholding by the income and compare it to your tax bracket. Make sure you are having enough withheld for the refund you want. If not, change your W4 again.
