Fill out Form W-4: This is the simplest online W-4 tool; use this for any filing status (Single, Head of Household, Married) with 1 simultaneous job (you and/or your spouse each have one job at the given time). The total number of jobs for the year is not relevant. This tool does not lean on your previous tax return or future income estimates.
W-4 Paycheck: Calculate or estimate your W-4 IRS tax withholding based on your paycheck. This can then be used as guidance for your state tax withholding.

Tax Withholding Forms by State

To adjust your state tax withholding, you will need to submit a certain state form to your employer - not the IRS or state tax agency. State income taxes are based on either employment or residency. Below, find the state where either your employer is located where you reside and fill out the state tax withholding form. Lean on your paycheck calculator results or state income tax calculator when completing the state tax withholding form, before you submit the form to your employer - not the state tax agency. Once you submitted your tax withholding form monitor your paycheck and make adjustments if needed. You can submit a new tax withholding for each pay period if you wish.
