In the United States, if the income reaches a certain level, it is necessary to prepay some taxes to the government in the current month or quarter. Penalties will apply if taxes over $1000 are not prepaid. Therefore, the entry of a full-time job often starts with filling out the W-4 form, which is the calculation and signing form specially used by the tax bureau to authorize companies to withhold federal taxes for you, including marital status, withholding income tax relief wait.
When you want to change the preferential amount of tax credit on W-4, or when your marital and financial status changes, you should modify W-4. Employers need to make it effective within one month. Employees may be subject to a $500 penalty if the W-4 is improperly filed and the withholding is lower than required. Also, for employers, employees must keep completed and signed W-4 records for at least 4 years. Provide these forms to the IRS when requested by the IRS.
Nonresident Alien Employees, Nonresident Alien Employees, must follow special instructions when filling out Form W-4.

Personal tax must be submitted annually by yourself or your family or by an accountant, and cannot be done by the unit or institution you work for. Normally, the period from the end of January to April 15th is the time window for summarizing and declaring the income of the previous year, and fines may be incurred if it is overdue. In addition to the federal tax bureau IRS at the national level, various tax forms and material submission departments may also have state and local tax bureaus, financial supervisory bureaus and other departments. In order to standardize the large-scale tax declarations across the country every year, the formal “organization” or “person” that gives you funds/assets should provide relevant vouchers and tax forms before you file taxes, such as W-2 or 1099-NEC for employers to pay wages, 1099-INT for the bank to issue interest, 1099-G for the government to issue unemployment benefits, etc. It should be noted that if there are errors/omissions in the personal declaration, there may be a progressive fine according to time, please make sure to pay the tax in time; at the same time, please collect or scan all tax forms, bills or vouchers for tax inspection purposes.
