with so many recent tax changes, two-income families and people who work multiple jobs should check their withholding amount.<\/p>\n

more hot-button topics for clients:<\/strong>\u00a0supreme court’s wayfair ruling on sales tax sows more confusion<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0making passwords hack-proof<\/a> |<\/p>\n

\"goprocpa.com\"exclusively for pro members.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>log in here<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a02022世界杯足球排名 today<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

the irs is urging two-income families and folks who work multiple jobs to complete a paycheck checkup to verify that they’re withholding the right amount of tax from their paychecks.<\/p>\n

you can check out the irs withholding calculator<\/a> to help navigate the complexities of multiple employer tax situations and determine the correct amount of tax for each employer to withhold.<\/p>\n

the passage of the tax cuts and jobs act affects 2018 tax returns and makes checking withholding even more important.<\/p>\n

some tcja changes include:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 increased standard deduction.
\n\u2022 elimination of personal exemptions.
\n\u2022 increased child tax credit.
\n\u2022 limited or discontinued deductions.
\n\u2022 changed tax rates and brackets.<\/p>\n

therefore, if you have a client with a more complex tax profile \u2014 if they’re a two-income family or if they work multiple jobs \u2014 they may be more vulnerable to being under-withheld or over-withheld following the tax law changes. this is why the irs encourages a paycheck checkup as early as possible to see whether they’re having the correct amount withheld for their personal financial situation.<\/p>\n

if they need to adjust their paycheck withholding amount, doing so early gives more time for withholding to take place evenly throughout the year. waiting means fewer pay periods to make tax changes and this could have a bigger effect on each paycheck.<\/p>\n

the irs withholding calculator<\/a> is easy and accurate, says the irs, allowing taxpayers to enter income from multiple jobs or from two employed spouses and ensuring that they apply their 2018 tax deductions, adjustments and credits only once rather than multiple times with different employers.<\/p>\n

of course, the withholding calculator’s results depend on the accuracy of information entered and may not take their entire tax situation into account.<\/p>\n

clients need to know their w-4 form. they should submit their new w-4 form to their employer as soon as possible, if necessary.<\/p>\n

in fact, they should submit to their employer a new w-4 with corrected withholding allowances within 10 days of the change. (note that the irs may be issuing a new w-4 form later this year, and it may be very different from the current one.)<\/p>\n

as a general rule, the fewer withholding allowances an employee enters on a w-4 form, the higher the tax withholding. entering 0 or 1 on line 5 of the w-4 means more tax withheld. entering a larger number means less tax withheld, which would result in a smaller tax refund or potentially a tax bill or penalty. again, a professional can help you make the right decision here.<\/p>\n

taxpayers typically prepay their taxes during the year through withholding from a job or via estimated quarterly tax payments if self-employed \u2014 sometimes both. not having enough taxes withheld can occur when they get married or divorced, have a baby or finally get that empty nest they’ve dreamed about. one of the most common under-withholding situations is the second-job scenario.<\/p>\n

they may be doubling the exemptions, which would result in less tax withheld than required. to help them avoid the dreaded owe when they have two jobs, be sure to take into account second jobs and other special situations so there are no unpleasant surprises next april.<\/p>\n

determining accurate withholding can be tricky, so talking to clients early is always a good idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
