What is the DS 82?
The DS 82, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, is a tax form you fill out and give to your employer, not the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the United States government agency responsible for the collection of taxes and enforcement of tax laws, for federal and state taxes withholding. The file is typically accomplished whenever you start a new job, but it can be updated when there are significant changes in your personal life that affect your finances. You may update your allowances and withholdings when one of the following happens:
You can submit a new form any time throughout the course of your employment if you wish to change your withholding allowances. By completing it, you notify your employer of the amount of federal tax you wish to be withheld from each paycheck in a pay period. Your employer, on your behalf, sends the money it withholds from your paycheck to the IRS, along with your name and Social Security number (SSN). At the end of the year, your employer will send you a W-2 form, Wage and Tax Statement, that shows the amount of money, among other tax-related financial information, it withheld for you that year.
Tax forms, while they are perhaps one of the most used legal documents among businesses and employees, are generally not considered to be advantageous. However, the DS 82 is based on the idea of allowances. It gives you a slight power over your tax situation and how much pay you take home, allowing you to adjust the portion of your income that is subject to federal income tax.
The DS 82 affects the amount of refund you will get or the tax you will owe when you file a tax refund. It is good to set the right amount of tax withholding; hence, you must balance your taxes to avoid owing or getting a large tax refund, as if you do not withhold enough tax, you could owe an unexpectedly large sum of money to the IRS in April. You may also incur interest and penalties for underpaying your taxes during the year. On the other hand, if you withhold too much tax, while you get a large sum of tax refund money, you might have trouble following a monthly budget. Withholding too much tax is granting the government an interest-free loan.
To determine the accurate number of allowances you should claim using the DS 82, you can use the Personal Allowances Worksheet or compute using the IRS’s online allowance calculator. The calculator automatically makes adjustments if it shows that you might be qualified for any tax credits that will affect your end-of-year tax liability. In addition, if you are married or planning to file a joint return, the online calculator can accommodate more than one income.
When you begin working for your employer, he or she will give you a DS 82 that you need to complete. You can also download the DS 82 from the IRS website if you want to make any changes and he or she does not happen to have the form on hand. The agency is currently creating a new DS 82, which will be for the 2020 tax year. The near-final draft will be released in mid to late July and the final version in November. Before the mentioned dates, you should still use the existing DS 82.
How do I fill out the DS 82?
The DS 82 has seven sections to complete and requires your personal information, including your full legal name, marital status, and Social Security number (SSN). The hardest part of filling out the form is deciding the number of allowances to claim, but do not fret. The DS 82 comes with an allowances worksheet that will help you figure out how many to claim. Take note that the more allowances you claim, the less tax will be withheld from your paycheck. Follow these steps to complete the DS 82:
Step 1
Provide your full legal name and address in their respective boxes.
Step 2
Provide your Social Security number in Box 2. Your employer will use this information when he or she sends the withheld money from your paycheck to the IRS.
Step 3
Check the option that corresponds to your marital status in Box 3. You may check the “Married, but withhold at a higher Single rate” if you are married and your spouse also works. This would solve your apprehension about not having enough tax withheld.
Step 4
Unless you have gotten married recently and changed your name legally, and still have not received an updated Social Security card reflecting your name change, you may leave Box 4, which confirms if your last name differs from that shown on your Social Security card. Otherwise, if the condition applies to you, you may mark the checkbox.
You can call 1-800-772-1213 to request for a Social Security card replacement.
Step 5
Line 5 asks for the total number of allowances you are claiming. The rule to remember is that the higher the number here, the less tax withheld from your pay.
The DS 82 has a Personal Allowances Worksheet. By accomplishing it, you would know how many allowances you are allowed to put in Line 5. Here are the details that you need to know for each part of the worksheet:
