Could I amend a W-4 form through TurboTax for this tax-year 2024?

This is the last pay-check before the retirement.

At the beginning of the year, the payroll office did not get my info into the W-4 form.

Now what actions could I take to amend the W-4 form in the tax-filing process? Thank you.

Thank you, DianeW.

Usually does W-4 form work for the FICA taxes?

DianeW777

No, it is strictly for the federal withholding. The FICA taxes have a set amount for each dollar of wages and is not part of your tax return.

6.2% is social security tax
1.45% is medicare tax

The issue you might have, is that the payroll people may not be able to implement your changes this late in your pay cycle. Normally, the change you make might only be applied to the next wage cycle.....which might not exist for you.

If it doesn't happen, you could just increase your withholding on your pension payments, to make up for what wasn't withheld in your working paychecks.

Use the W-4P to increase withholding from a pension
