Understanding W-4
Your W-4 form tells your employer how much to withhold from your paycheck. Update it when you have major life changes like marriage, children, or a raise.
Optimal Withholding
Aim to owe or receive less than $1,000 when you file. Large refunds mean you're lending money to the government interest-free all year.
