How to Adjust your W-4?

To make changes to your W-4, see your company’s benefits department, or download a W-4 form from the IRS.   You can also allow for deductions you take every year – such as mortgage interest, property taxes, and charitable giving – if you itemize.  Increasing allowances will leave more in your paycheck, while decreasing allowances will withhold more.

When Should You Adjust Your W-4 Withholdings?

There is no limit on how often you can adjust your withholding, so complete a new W-4 if your life changes in a way that will affect your income taxes, such as:

  • Starting a new job
  • Having a baby
  • Getting married or divorced
  • Buying a new home
