How do I make sure I wont owe next year

To help avoid having a balance due next year is to understand that taxes are a pay as you go system.  This means that as you make money, you pay taxes on that money.  It's either deducted from your pay or you can pay quarterly estimated taxes to the IRS or your state.

 

If you are paid on a W-2, you can change your withholding by completing a W-4 form. The W-4 form is used to provide information to your employer so that they can determine how much to withhold from your paychecks.

 

Refer to the TurboTax Blog Understanding Your Withholding Allowance on Your Form W-4 and What Is a W-4 Form? for more information.
