If you typically get a tax refund each spring, adjust your withholding to put more money in your pocket.

Use the easy withholding calculator at to find out how many exemptions you are entitled to claim. That will determine how much tax is withheld from your paycheck.

File a new Form W-4 with your employer to increase the number of exemptions.

Revise your W-4 anytime you experience a major life change that can affect the amount of taxes you pay -- marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, or a home purchase.

Smile on payday.
