hi, i have a simple payroll question:

is it possible for an employee to voluntarily change the number of
withholdings in the middle of the year?


thanks in advance.

the year.

IIRC they can do this every day if they want to. All they do is hand you
another W-4 and you must abide by it unless the IRS has sent you a notice, then
you do what the notice says.

The number of dependents is one way for a person to control the amount
of Federal tax withheld. A single person with a big mortgage might
claim 6 dependents, having none in reality. I think if an employee
claims more than 10 you have to send a copy in to IRS, or Social
Security Administration. Just like a head of household claiming zero
exemptions because they need more tax taken out of his checks.

Back in the early 80s a coworker claimed 99. He took the extra money
and invested it. He filed his tax return as soon as the W2s were ready
and paid his taxes in full. The IRS doesn't want this happening. So
hence the rule for dependents claimed exceeding 10.

The send it in ten rule went away last year. The IRS now uses a computer check
to be sure the worker is paying enough. Employer will get a letter if enough
isn't being collected in advance.

Yes, if everyone paid on April 15, the US would be bankrupt. Net 365, what a
concept.
