Ever wonder how much tax you should have withheld from your paycheck?

Many people struggle with deciding how many deductions to claim and how much tax to have withheld from their regular paycheck.  If you have too much taken out, you’re depriving yourself of money you could use throughout the year, and in essence giving a free loan to the IRS.  Wouldn’t it be better to keep that money for yourself?

On the other hand, if you have too little taken out, you risk having to pay the IRS come tax time, or even risk having a penalty assessed against you for underpayment.

Fortunately, there’s an easy way to determing your withholdings.  Just use this handy app from the IRS (and who should know better?)
