FAQ
Contact Your Employer's Payroll Department: Reach out to your HR or payroll department to explain the situation. They may be able to correct the withholding on their end and issue a refund for the incorrectly withheld taxes.
Q. What can I do if my employer makes an illegal deduction from my paycheck? A. You can either file a wage claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (the Labor Commissioner's Office), or file a lawsuit in court against your employer to recover the lost wages.
If the amount under/over withheld is deemed too excessive, the IRS can send a lock-in letter notifying the employer how to adjust withholding regardless of the employee's W4 requests. If a W-4 error is caught before filing, individuals can correct this relatively easily by refiling a W-4 with their employer.
If you file Form 941 and make a mistake on tax withholding, file Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund. You can either use this form to report overreporting and underreporting and pursue the adjustment process, or you can claim a refund from the IRS.
An employee can also use Form W-4 to tell you not to withhold any federal income tax. To qualify for this exempt status, the employee must have had no tax liability for the previous year and must expect to have no tax liability for the current year.
Change your withholding To change your tax withholding you should: Complete a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, and submit it to your employer. Complete a new Form W-4P, Withholding Certificate for Pension or Annuity Payments, and submit it to your payer.

First, I recommend reaching out to your employer's human resources or payroll department immediately. Inform them about the error in your W-4 form and the subsequent over-withholding of federal taxes. They should be able to assist you in rectifying the situation.
You can adjust your W-4 at any time during the year. Just remember, adjustments made later in the year will have less impact on your taxes for that year.
