Notes

The values you enter in the Tax Withholding Estimator don't affect your Quicken data. They are What if  tools, allowing you to experiment with different withholding amounts and see their effect on your tax bill. When you want to increase or decrease your actual withholdings, contact the Human Resources department where you work. In most cases, you can either change the number of withholding allowances or add a dollar amount by which your withholdings will be increased each with paycheck.
