Understanding Your Oklahoma Paycheck

When you receive your paycheck, it's important to remember that you don’t get the full amount you’re quoted because your employer withholds some money for taxes. In the U.S., this includes both FICA taxes and federal income taxes.

Federal income tax is sent to the IRS and is used to cover your annual tax bill. Instead of paying all your taxes at once during tax season, you pay a little bit throughout the year through your paycheck. The amount withheld depends on your salary, marital status, and number of dependents. Your W-4 form, which you fill out when starting a new job or experiencing major life changes (like marriage), helps your employer determine the correct amount to withhold. You can also update your W-4 anytime during the year if needed.

The IRS has updated the W-4 form recently. The new form no longer uses allowances. Instead, it has a five-step process where you can report extra income, claim tax credits, and other relevant details.

In addition to federal income taxes, your paycheck will also include Social Security and Medicare taxes, known as FICA taxes. Social Security and Medicare taxes are typically split between you and your employer, with each covering half of the total amount. If you’re self-employed or a contractor, you’re responsible for paying the full FICA taxes. Be sure to check if you can claim any tax deductions for the “employer” portion of FICA taxes.

There’s also an additional Medicare surtax on high earnings. If you’re single, head of household, or a qualifying widow(er), this surtax applies to wages above a certain threshold. For married couples filing jointly, it applies to wages above a different threshold. If you’re married but filing separately, the surtax applies to wages above a separate threshold. Your employer does not match this surtax.

How You Can Affect Your Oklahoma Paycheck

While federal income tax, FICA, and state income tax are fixed and must be paid, there are ways you can influence your paycheck and possibly reduce the amount of taxes you owe.

One way to do this is by paying for health or life insurance through your employer. The cost of these premiums will be deducted from your wages before taxes are calculated. Similarly, if you contribute to a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan through your job, these contributions are also taken out of your paycheck before taxes. This means you’re not only saving for retirement but also lowering your taxable income right now.

Another option is to put money into a health savings account (HSA) or a flexible spending account (FSA). You can use these funds for medical expenses like copays or prescriptions. However, be mindful of the limits on how much money you can carry over from year to year. For FSAs, if you have more than $610 left over from 2023, it won’t carry over into 2024, and anything above $640 from 2024 won’t carry over into 2025. Make sure to use the funds before the end of the year to avoid losing them.
