W-2 wage earners should do a Paycheck Checkup ASAP

 

The IRS urges everyone who works as an employee and has income from other sources to perform a Paycheck Checkup. This includes income from sharing economy activities, interest, dividends, self-employment, capital gains, or prizes and awards.

A Paycheck Checkup can help you avoid receiving a lower refund, an unexpected tax bill or underpayment penalty when you file your tax return next year.

You can do a checkup using the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator or Publication 505.

You can pay taxes throughout the year anytime.
