How to adjust W4 withholdings? Keep owing taxes despite removing dependent ($49k income)

You need to fill out a new W-4 form with your employer. The best approach is to use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator tool on irs.gov - it'll help you figure out exactly how much extra you should withhold each paycheck. You can also put an additional dollar amount to withhold on line 4(c) of your W-4 if you want to be extra safe. Based on owing $500 on $49k income, you probably need about $42 extra withheld per month.

Hey, I actually found the perfect solution for this! I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. For just $1 it analyzes your tax situation and tells you exactly what to put on your W-4. It's way easier than trying to figure it out yourself. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

in the same boat bestie 😭 I owed 2k last year and im STILL recovering financially

The real problem is these clowns at the IRS making everything so complicated. Why cant they just take the right amount automatically? 🤡

pro tip: check your filing status too. If your single and filing single but checking 'married' on w4 that'll mess you up

my sister works in payroll and she says most people dont withhold enuff. Better to get a refund then owe tbh
