Each year, employees experience life changes that can significantly affect their income tax withholding needs. As your employees are currently filing their tax returns, this presents an ideal opportunity to remind them about reviewing their withholding for the upcoming year. The IRS specifically recommends that all taxpayers review their federal withholding annually to ensure they’re not having too little or too much tax withheld, yet many employees remain unaware of this guidance. Proper withholding management helps employees avoid financial surprises at tax time while maintaining optimal cash flow throughout the year. When employers proactively remind staff about withholding reviews, they demonstrate care for employee financial wellness while potentially reducing workplace stress related to tax issues.
