Adjusting your withholding or estimated tax payments for 2008.
If your tax for 2008 will be more or less than your 2007 tax, you may need to adjust your withholding or estimated
tax payments accordingly. If
your tax will decrease, you can get the benefit of lower taxes throughout the year. If you will owe more tax, you can avoid
a penalty when you file
your tax return.
