State and federal tax withholding refers to the portion of your income that is automatically deducted from your paycheck by your employer and sent to the government to cover your income taxes. The amount withheld is determined by the information you provide on your W-4 form, including your filing status, number of dependents, and any additional amounts you request to be withheld. Accurate withholding ensures that you pay the correct amount of taxes throughout the year, reducing the likelihood of owing a large sum at tax time or receiving an unexpected refund. Employees can adjust their withholding by submitting a new W-4 form to their employer, which should reflect any changes in their personal or financial situation.
