To complete the W-4 calculator, you'll need a few key pieces of information:
Your most recent pay stub: This will help you enter your taxable income per pay period.
Total of wages received so far: This is important for calculating your annual income.
How much is withheld from your paycheck for federal and state taxes: You can find this information on your pay stub.
Estimates for deductions and expenses: If you plan to itemize deductions, having these handy will help you estimate your potential tax savings.
Having these items ready will make the process smoother and the results more accurate.
