Hello, I was going to update my w-4 to get more money on paychecks, when I noticed it no longer asked for deductions. I originally filed 5 deductions on the old forms and still get a large refund on my taxes. How do I fill it out now to get more in pocket and less in refund. I am married, filling jointly, single job with 4 children all under 17.
Hi Spinfj,
The Form W-4for 2023 looks a little different than prior years. Deductions are now claimed in Step 3. In this step, you multiply the number of qualifying children under the age of 17 by $2,000 and the number of other dependents by $500. You add both amounts and enter the total on line 3.
If you want additional adjustments, you can also fill out step 4 (b). In this section you can add deductions you expect to claim other than the Standard Deduction. You can use the deduction worksheet on page 3 to calculate the amount.
Below are some additional resources that can help you better understand the new W4 form:
