Tips to Avoid Surprises at Tax-

TimeEven though only a few months remain

in 2015, you still have time to act to avoid tax-time surprises next April.

Here are some actions you can take:

Check your withholding

Make sure you are having the correct amount of taxes withheld from your pay by using the IRS’

Withholding Calculator on IRS.gov. Using estimates of your salary,

investment income, and deductions for the rest of the year, the

calculator tells you exactly how to fill out your W-4 to get your refund

as close to zero as possible.

Report important changes in

circumstancesIf you purchase health insurance

coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, you may

receive advance payments of the premium tax credit. It is

important that you report changes in circumstances, like a job

change, change income or change in family size, to your Marketplace

so you get the proper type and amount of premium assistance.

Change taxes with life events

Certain life events may impact your taxes. These include, marriage, divorce

and the birth of a child. When any of these

important live events occur, submit a new Form W–4

with your employer.

Be accurate on your W-4

When you start a new job, your new employer will ask you to fill out a Form W-4. It’s important for you to accurately complete the form to avoid having too much or too little taxes

withheld from your pay.

Pay estimated tax if required

If you receive income that is not subject to

withholding, you may need to pay estimated taxes. This may include income such as self-employment,

interest, or rent.
