Is it lumped into the federal tax return or the state? Do I have to itemize and somehow claim that I had extra withholding? How do I find out that I'm actually getting the money back that I had withheld?

All you do is enter your W-2 as you normally do. There is no guarantee that you will get the entire amount back. That depends on how much taxable income you have.</P> Thu, 16 Feb 2023 17:50:45 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-on-my-w-4-in-the-space-that-asked-about-extra-withholding-from-each-paycheck-and-i-wanted-70-to/01/2887983#M138660 leeloo 2023-02-16T17:50:45Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-on-my-w-4-in-the-space-that-asked-about-extra-withholding-from-each-paycheck-and-i-wanted-70-to/01/2888014#M138662 <P>The W-2 you get at the end of the year should include the total of all that was withheld, all added together.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"Total" of all Federal withholding is in box 2</P><P>"Total" of all State withholding is in box 17</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 16 Feb 2023 18:00:22 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-on-my-w-4-in-the-space-that-asked-about-extra-withholding-from-each-paycheck-and-i-wanted-70-to/01/2888014#M138662 SteamTrain 2023-02-16T18:00:22Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-on-my-w-4-in-the-space-that-asked-about-extra-withholding-from-each-paycheck-and-i-wanted-70/01/2888045#M138666 <P><SPAN style="font-size:14px;">As leeloo posted, your total withholding, whether part of the regular calculation or the extra you noted on your W4, is reported in box 2 for federal and box 17 for state of your Form W-2 you receive from your employer. &nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN style="font-size:14px;">Once you have entered your W-2 into TurboTax, the software will walk you through a series of other questions based on the forms you received and input to determine your taxable income and therefore your refund or tax amount due.</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN style="font-size:14px;"><a href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5194075">@vlansford94</a></SPAN></P> Thu, 16 Feb 2023 18:13:49 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-on-my-w-4-in-the-space-that-asked-about-extra-withholding-from-each-paycheck-and-i-wanted-70/01/2888045#M138666 AliciaP1 2023-02-16T18:13:49Z
