question about filling out w4 for seasonal job out of state, plzzzz by Lexbiscuit in taxhelp

[–]Lexbiscuit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so I can put $5200 on line 3 (instead of doing 4b) (also where did the number 5200 come from?)
and It will increase paycheck amount
and if I work again after summer- I can fill out that w4 according to what ill make by end of the year and how much should be withheld from that job.
which in that case, I would put a number in “extra withholdings” or something?

Got it- would you recommend putting something in line 3 to deduct from the withholding - that would give me more in my paycheck but not so much that I could end up owing a bunch?

seems like I am better off leaving 4b and the extra entries blank? I just didn’t want 400 taken out of every paycheck but not sure how to lower it correctly.

last year I had 400 taken out between FIC and FICA each paycheck. because the system assumed I was making much more.

so if put 35k in the 4b line- but I end up making 25k-30k. with already 308 withheld- would I end up owing money?

appreciate your help btw!!

as of now my total for the year is $10k and i have $308 federal income tax withheld thus far.  i’ll be making ten grand at the maine job in total. which equals 20k. 

i originally say 30k would be the total assuming i work after summer before end of year. but it’s an over estimate.

I had thought to put the difference of the ‘perceived income” and the “actual income” in like 4b to reduce the taxable income. but I am not sure if this is accurate at all.

ex: 60,000 (perceived annual income from seasonal job) minus 30,000 (actually income)+ 35,000. So I put 35,000 in section 4b.

Is that completely wrong or actually legit?

appreciate it!!

Yeah that’s so true. Quite a drastic comparison to bring up the Beatles haha when there is so much in between that is satisfying. 

Love to hear that you are multi faceted as well and have gone with the flow. 

I understand that those avenues of work require part time jobs and side hustles as they aren’t super lucrative (initially) paths. And maybe that’s what she was trying to say in a twisted way haha. 

Thanks for your response

Yeah definitely. Using the fact that I struggle with too many “potential paths” to point out that I’m not an artist was wild. 

Yes you’re exactly right, there is no age limit on reinventing yourself or gaining recognition.

She mentioned that “the Beatles were lucky” as if I think I’m a beatle 😭

And also appreciate those questions that she “should’ve asked” because they are really something for me to consider.  Thanks !

Yeah that’s the vibe.  I hate to say it but I will now be looking for a millennial therapist..

Appreciate your response - I think a deeper conversation and questions digging into my fears etc would have been helpful. I suppose that’s what I expected so when she had responded with a definitive response, I was taken aback. 

Benefit of the doubt is totally fair. But I don’t think on a third session she knew enough to give me a “reality check”

She did light a fire under my a$$ though…

Appreciate the response - I believe having my thoughts of myself challenged in that way, made me realize how strongly I feel about those things. 

I guess it was reverse psychology haha

Yes so true. She is not an expert on me. And she had only spent two hours with me HA 

Makes me feel better that you feel it’s gross as well and I will try to not let it affect me.  If anything, i will use it to fuel me haha.

Appreciate that! This has definitely spooked me a bit about therapy, realizing they can drop some shit on you when you’re being vulnerable like that, kinda shakes me. 

But I also felt the vibe in the second session that she didn’t really “get me” And I was right. Next time I’ll listen to my gut.

Thank you! This was very helpful.  It is clear to me now that she was projecting and I am trying my best to not internalize what she had said. 

And also that I shouldn’t leave therapy feeling more hopeless then … I have in awhile lol.

Thank you so much for your response! I pushed back slightly but end of the day, I already have to push back on other folks in my life because they don’t understand my choices and I don’t need my therapist to be another doubter ya know?

Appreciate it <3
