IRS Withholding Calculator

To all CUSD employees, please review the following recommendation from the IRS:

The IRS encourages everyone to use the Withholding Calculator to perform a quick “paycheck checkup.”  This is even more important this year because of recent changes to the tax law for 2018.

The Calculator helps you identify your tax withholding to make sure you have the right amount of tax withheld from your paycheck at work.

There are several reasons to check your withholding:

  • Checking your withholding can help protect against having too little tax withheld and facing an unexpected tax bill or penalty at tax time next year. 
  • At the same time, with the average refund topping $2,800, you may prefer to have less tax withheld up front and receive more in your paychecks. 

If you are an employee, the Withholding Calculator helps you determine whether you need to give your employer a new Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate. You can use your results from the Calculator to help fill out the form and adjust your income tax withholding.

If the calculator determines that you should change your federal or state tax withholdings, you may do so by completing the appropriate W-4 and submitting the form to payroll.  You can find the forms in the related documents section on the right.

In addition to US mail or hand-delivery, forms may also be faxed or emailed to the CUSD Payroll Office.
