Sam money I think a lot of people forget to adjust their withholding. I think quite common are events, when people forget that they need to tell someone about their marriage or house purchase. (in case of divorce people probably more organized). As you said it doesn’t always mean you will have to pay extra, it could be a refund. I also want to add, that if you need to fill the form and find it difficult, call IRS, they normally will explain where to put what.

You should consider expanding on this episode to tell people how they can adjust their withholdings and also maximize pre-tax 401k contributions simultaneously. This can be achieved by lowering your tax burden (pre-tax 401k) and not sacrificing so much income by increasing dependents (less taxes taken out). I think some listeners might be interested in that if you give an example. Keep up the good work. http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-adjust-your-withholding.aspx?commentid=11488#Comments http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-adjust-your-withholding.aspx?commentid=11488#Comments Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:46:15 GMT Ryan S. money The bummer thing for me, working two jobs, even though I claim zero and put away the max I can into my 403(b), is that at he end of the year, I -still- owe.

Late last year, after using the "withholdings calculator" I tried to increase my withholdings to its recommended value (I think it was 15 or so). When I turned in my W4 to my HR department, they informed me that they would have to report this to the IRS because it was over 10 and they would possibly investigate me. Is this true? Why is this?Thanks,Idgie http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-adjust-your-withholding.aspx?commentid=1011#Comments http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-adjust-your-withholding.aspx?commentid=1011#Comments Thu, 22 Feb 2007 06:07:20 GMT Money Girl money I'm glad you found the episode useful! :-) I do plan to do episodes on additional tax topics in the future.

The link was very helpful in deciding what I need to do for the next year. I will be sure to head over to our h.r. department right away. I am just starting out in the tax world because I am now working full time. Any chance you may do more podcasts on tax filing and such? I would love to hear them. http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-adjust-your-withholding.aspx?commentid=1005#Comments http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-adjust-your-withholding.aspx?commentid=1005#Comments Wed, 07 Feb 2007 21:34:00 GMT Flash money This podcast was added to iTunes with the number 007 and it should have been 008.
