Now is the time to review your W-4 and make changes to your tax withholdings by adjusting the number of allowances that you claim. If you owed tax to the federal or state government when you filed your 2021 taxes, you should strongly consider increasing your tax withholdings by claiming fewer allowances for the remainder of the 2023 tax year. If you received an exceptionally large refund, you should consider decreasing your tax withholdings by increasing the number of allowances you claim so that you will have a greater use of your money during the year.
