Frequently Asked Questions
Is a big refund good?
A refund means you over-withheld — you gave the government an interest-free loan. Most people prefer to break even or owe a little. Adjust your W-4 if refunds top $1,000.
How do I check what was withheld?
Look at box 2 of your W-2 or the 'Federal income tax withheld' line on your paystubs. This calculator compares that total to your actual tax.
