Taxes are inevitable.
And while the federal tax filing deadline was recently extended, the IRS still plans to collect every penny you owe.
Luckily, if you work at a company and get paid through a payroll service, your employer likely takes some of your income every paycheck and sends the money to the government for you.
The amount sent to the IRS will be based on how you fill out your W-4 form when you start your job.
But if you work for yourself, nobody will withhold for you. So make sure you’re putting some money aside to pay that tax bill each quarter.
Check out this video to learn more about tax withholding and your W-4 form.
