Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose Roth or Traditional contributions this year?
Traditional boosts take-home now; Roth keeps take-home lower now but withdrawals can be tax-free. Compare in our Roth vs Traditional tool.
Where do interest/dividends feed in?
Enter totals from Schedule B; they adjust AGI and flow through to this WI scenario.
My employer pays semi-monthly—will this match?
Use the semi-monthly frequency and enter your exact pre-/post-tax lines to tighten the match.
Longer guidance: Handling RSUs/stock comp with WI wages
Treat vesting/settlement as wage income (federal/FICA/Medicare) and reflect it here. Later sales belong on Schedule D. Because withholding methods vary, mirror your employer’s supplemental approach for closer paycheck alignment.
Detail: Catch-up contributions near year-end
If eligible, add catch-up (401(k)/IRA) and rerun the WI page. This can lower year-end tax and adjust refund vs balance-due dynamics.
