2026 Tax Withholding Updates Due to OBBBA

! 2026 TAX WITHHOLDING UPDATES DUE TO OBBBA !

Public Law 119-21, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA contains new and enhanced tax deductions including:
• New income tax deductions for qualified overtime compensation and tips and qualified passenger vehicle loan interest;
• An enhanced deduction for seniors (individuals age 65 and older);
• An increase in the standard deduction and the child tax credit; and
• An increase in the limit on the itemized deduction for state and local taxes.

If you want to account for these deductions in the income tax withheld from your paychecks, you must submit a new 2026 Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Certificate, to the payroll department. You can find the form on the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf. Please note: If you do not submit a new Form W-4, withholding will continue based on your previously submitted form.

Before submitting a 2026 Form W-4, you should carefully read the instructions included with the form and consult a tax professional, if needed. To figure your updated withholding amount, you can use the updated Deductions Worksheet on page 4 of the Form W-4 and input your total in Step 4(b) of the 2026 Form W-4.

The IRS’s tax withholding estimator (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator) has been recently updated for some of the deductions but your estimate might not be accurate for all deductions yet. To effectively use the estimator, it is helpful to have a copy of your most recent pay statement and tax return.

To figure your updated withholding amount, you should use either the updated Deductions Worksheet or the estimator, but not both. If you choose to update your withholding for 2026, you should recheck and update your withholding at the beginning of 2027. In most instances, your Form W-4 stays in effect until you submit a new one to the payroll department.
