Resources from the IRS

Following major tax law changes, the IRS is urging taxpayers to use the IRS Withholding Calculator to check their tax withholding and make sure they have the right amount of tax taken out of their pay for their personal situation. Having too little tax withheld could mean a tax bill or a penalty. The earlier people check, the more time there is for withholding to take place evenly during the rest of the year.
