Understanding Your Mississippi Paycheck

You also have federal income tax withheld from your paycheck. Instead of paying all your taxes in April, you pay them in smaller amounts throughout the year. How much is withheld depends on your earnings and the information you provide on your W-4 form. This form tells your employer things like your marital status and if you want extra money withheld.

The W-4 form has been updated recently. The new version doesn’t use allowances or let you claim personal or dependency exemptions. Instead, it has a five-step process where you fill out your personal details, claim dependents, and include any additional jobs or income. You also enter annual amounts for income tax credits, non-wage income, itemized deductions, and total taxable wages.

Other deductions from your paycheck depend on the benefits you choose from your employer. If you have health or life insurance through work, those premiums come out of your paycheck, usually before taxes are taken out. This reduces your taxable income. You might also have pre-tax deductions for retirement accounts like a 401(k) or 403(b), and for medical expenses like a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA).

How You Can Affect Your Mississippi Paycheck

To adjust the size of your paycheck in Mississippi, start by reviewing your W-4 form. This form tells your employer how much tax to withhold from each paycheck.

If you're worried about a large tax bill in April, you can choose to have extra money withheld from each paycheck. For instance, you might decide to withhold an additional $20 each pay period. Just fill out a new W-4 with this amount, and use our paycheck calculator to figure out how much extra you should withhold.

Another way to lower your taxable income is by increasing your contributions to pre-tax retirement accounts like a 401(k) or 403(b). Contributions to these accounts are taxed only when you withdraw the money. In Mississippi, you won't have to pay state income tax on your 401(k) withdrawals if you retire there.
