Adjusting Withholding

Taxpayers receiving wage income can adjust their withholding by providing their employer with a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. By decreasing the number of allowances claimed on Form W-4, the amount withheld from each paycheck will increase.

To help taxpayers adjust their withholding using Form W-4, use the withholding calculator on www.irs.gov—keywords: withholding calculator.

More information can be found in the Form W-4 Instructions, Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax for Individuals, Tax Withholding and Estimated Taxes, or in Publication 919, How Do I Adjust My Tax Withholding?
