*Check tax withholding now to avoid paying future quarterly estimated payments*

WASHINGTON ? The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers who earn wages to use the Tax Withholding Estimator [ [link removed] ] on IRS.gov now to adjust their 2023 withholding. People?s tax situations occasionally change through marriage or divorce, adding a child or having one move out on their own. Checking now and making necessary adjustments early in the year may help them avoid the need for quarterly estimated tax payments.

The Tax Withholding Estimator online tool helps taxpayers see if they may get a refund or need to make a payment directly to the IRS to avoid a tax bill and penalties next year.

Income taxes are pay-as-you-go [ [link removed] ] and are normally paid during the year as income is received through withholding from paychecks, pension payments, Social Security benefits or certain other government payments.

Having a second job or non-wage income from unemployment, self-employment, annuity income, the gig economy [ [link removed] ] or digital assets [ [link removed] ] may require taxpayers make quarterly estimated tax payments to avoid a balance due when they file.

In addition, various financial transactions, especially late in the year, can have an unexpected tax impact. Examples include year-end and holiday bonuses, stock dividends, capital gain distributions from mutual funds and stocks, bonds, virtual currency, real estate or other property sold at a profit.

*Tax Withholding Estimator*
The Tax Withholding Estimator [ [link removed] ], also available in Spanish, can help wage earners determine if they have too much or too little tax withheld. Taxpayers may use the estimate to change their withholding amount and submit a new Form W-4 [ [link removed] ], Employee?s Withholding Certificate, to their employer. The tool offers those who earn wages step-by-step help for tailoring the amount of income tax they should have withheld from their paycheck.

*Make a tax payment*
The fastest and easiest way to make an estimated tax payment is to do so electronically using IRS Direct Pay [ [link removed] ] or the Treasury Department?s Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS [ [link removed] ]). For information on other payment options, visit IRS.gov/payments [ [link removed] ]. If paying by check, be sure to make the check payable to the ?United States Treasury.?
