Payment or Refund?
n Withholding: Your employer is required to withhold some of
your earnings for the IRS. Your annual earnings and tax
withholdings are reported on a form called W-2.
n Employees decide on how many exemptions to claim on a W-
4 form. The more exemptions you claim, the less tax
withholding.
n If you total final tax is more than your tax withholding, then
you need to send a check to IRS.
n If your total final tax is less than your tax withholding, then
you get a refund.
