Once you have completed your W-4, submit this to your employer. This only adjusts your federal withholding amounts; if you need to adjust your state tax withholding, select your state from the state W-4 page and find forms to do so. To see how optimized your withholding is, prepare and e-file your taxes on eFile.com and see how tax balanced you are; your W-4 is the planning tool that allows you to keep your money during the year rather than hand it over to the IRS and state only to get it back as a refund.
