How to Adjust Tax Withholdings to Gain a Bigger Refund

1). Print out a new Form W-4 from the IRS website.
2). Claim fewer allowances than you previously claimed on your old W-4. Claiming fewer allowances than you did previously will increase your income tax withholding so you will get a bigger refund at the end of the year.
3). Select the "Married, but withhold at higher Single rate" as your filing status if you are married. Using the single rate will result in more being withheld so you get a larger refund.
4). Enter an additional amount to have withheld from each paycheck on Line 6 of your Form W-4. Your employer will withhold this extra amount from each paycheck. For example, if you request $100 extra to be withheld and you do not need any extra withheld, if you are paid monthly your refund will be $1,200 larger.
