Paycheck checkups are a great practice when something happens in your life that may change your tax status, such as getting married or divorced, having a baby, getting a new job, or getting a raise or promotion. You can also adjust your withholding status if you want to change the tax withheld due to other circumstances.
Other factors can also be checked during your paycheck checkup, such as how much you contribute to your health insurance and retirement. These expenses can also impact your tax liability.
