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.
