Hello,
I cannot seem to find any help filling out the W-4S for my upcoming maternity leave! There are no helpful articles or videos out there with help on this form (https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-w-4-s). It is asking for the amount I would like withheld for federal income taxes for 2022, but I have no idea how to calculate this.
For example, on the worksheet portion for Line 1, it asks me to "Enter amount of adjusted gross income that you expect for 2022". How can I know my AGI if the year isn't even over yet?
The worksheet portion seems to be optional, and I can just input an amount in the 5th line in the top portion. Can I just look at my last pay stub and put the same amount that's currently being taken out for my federal income tax? And if so, do I also include the amounts for social security and medicare? Or just federal income tax?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
