Here is the proper way to fill out your W4‼️
Goingforward, your employer will NOT , I REPEAT… WILL NOT withhold federal income tax withholding from your paychecks (BOX 2 on the w2) if you select HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD or MARRIED FILING JOINT on your w4 or if you check you are EXEMPT from federal tax or if you select you have multiple jobs and you're paying federal tax withholding at the other jobs!
So now you need to request a new W4, complete your basic info (name, social security number and address), check single as your filing status, select you are NOT EXEMPT and submit the new form!
It can also benefit you to ask for a little extra to come out of your check…. Especially if you make decent income! If you make over 25k a year, I highly suggest you take a little extra out! (Step 4, Line C on the w4 form)
The amount of workers who underpaid federal taxes this year has been mind blowing! Going exempt is not whats up! Hopefully next tax season, it'll be larger refunds because your credits won't have to be used to pay your tax liability!
Please see the W4 Below to fill out W4 Properly.
