Retirement tax questions

File a Form DE 4 Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate with your employer to get California withholding taken out this year.

 

As Tax Champ StreamTrain says, most states require a separate withholding certificate.

 

There’s also a chance your California withholding certificate got lost or the payroll clerk made a mistake. It’s always good practice to check your first few pay stubs to make sure things look right.

 

Finally, if you work for a production company with irregular hours, it's possible no withholding was be required if your weekly pay was too small for withholding because you were part-time. In that case, you can request additional withholding.

 

You can set up a payment plan for your tax due. You can apply online.
