Always witholding too much on Louisiana income taxes

My state taxes was always opposite, I ended up owing more than what was withheld. So, I decided to add an extra 5 bucks a paycheck to the state withholding (130 a year) and magically that fixed the issue and I usually get money back. Single here.

Put a negative in box 8.

Total overpayment / number of paychecks in a year.

Or add some more dependents. It doesn’t have to match your actual situation, you just can’t “owe too much” or they could tack on a penalty
