For example - If you’re paid twice a month and one check is a commission check ($10,000) while the other is a draw ($1,000), they may withhold nothing from the draw check (annual income of $24,000 would have no tax liability for a married couple) and way too much from the commission check (annual income of $240,000 would require $39,000 in withholding, so $1625/chk on those 12 checks). You’d end up withholding nearly $5k more than your actually liability on your $132,000 of income as a result.
