"Good Afternoon,



Many of you may have seen an increase in your pay this period.  The Stimulus Plan set by the President lowered the Federal Tax brackets for any employee making under $150 K.  This went in affect March 5, 2009.



Thank you,

Michelle

You may, or may not, have also received a memo with regard to your withholdings.  The point was that you were going to start seeing more in your check (less withholding), and if you wanted to maintain the same withholding I should submit a new W-4.  After a little research, it sounds like I will still be responsible for the same amount of tax, and the end of the year, they are just going to take less out to make me feel good about it.  That's bullshit.

It is smoke and mirrors.

Good thing I don't have anything withheld. My paycheck didn't change...

But yes, my take home did increase a tad. And I fully expect to be giving it all back (and then some) in a sneaky underhanded way.

If they lowered your tax bracket, then how are you still responsible for the same amount at the end of the year? Isn't that the whole point of lowering the tax bracket...you are taxed less for the year? If you want your withholdings to remain the same, then ofcourse you would need to fill out a new W-4...and claim less dependents.
