2a-irs estimator

If I use the estimator for 1 or 2 jobs, if there is an amount in 3: is this the amount that you put to maximize your take home pay to break even or have have a smaller refund?

2a-irs estimator

Hi!

I understand that you're using the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator, and have a question as to Item 3.  I'm a little unclear as to what the Item 3 you're referring to is, but I suggest that you restart the interactive estimator tool, as the questions are all in a specific order and adjust to the previous answers you've supplied.

As an alternative, you may want to try using TurboTax's W-4 Calculator, which may be clearer and easier to use.

If neither is helpful, feel free to post a follow-up question with some additional, specific details as to where the source of your question is coming up.  We're happy to help.  Thanks!
