If you need to make a change or adjustment on a return already filed, you can file an amended return. Use Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and follow the instructions.
If a W-4 error is caught before filing, individuals can correct this relatively easily by refiling a W-4 with their employer. This can be found and downloaded from the IRS website. When filling out the W-4, you have the option to withhold more than the amount your employer calculates.
You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return.
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 you are an individual, you should complete the W-8BEN form; and if you are a business entity, you should complete the W-8BEN-E form. Essentially, the W-8BEN form is required to be completed by foreign nationals to US tax authorities to declare your tax status to the IRS.
An IRS Form W-8BEN form is a Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting purposes. By completing a Form W-8BEN, you confirm to us that you are not a U.S. Taxpayer and you will avoid having taxes withheld from your interest payments.
For information on how to report suspected tax fraud activity, if you have information about an individual or company you suspect is not complying with the tax law, and you do not want to seek an award. You can remain anonymous.
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.
Failure to provide a Form W-8BEN when requested may lead to withholding at the foreign-person withholding rate of 30% or the backup withholding rate under section 3406.
