Should I request to withhold federal income tax on my unemployment ins?


Is this money that i get back when I file my taxes next year? Thanks for your help.

Lets say i dont request that any money be withheld, will I owe money instead when I file taxes?

Unemployment compensation is taxable income. When you file your return next year, you'll add the total u.c. that you received to any other income you have, and figure your tax on that. So yes, if you have other income and expect to owe income tax for 2007, it would be a good idea to have tax withheld from your u.c. payments - otherwise you could end up owing when your file.

If you end up overpaying, you'll get the extra back as a refund when you file.
If you do not have them with hold taxes from your unemployment checks, you will HAVE to pay that tax when you file your return at the end of the year.
Unemployment benefits are taxable income, so if there is no tax withheld, you are more likely to owe tax with your return next year. But your income will also be lower, so if you have been working and had tax withheld this year, it will have been withheld based on what you were making. It may even out, but really hard to tell without detailed information.

You can enter your estimated income and estimate what your tax liability will be if you use a program like Turbo Tax, or go to the IRS website (www.irs.gov), look up last year's tables, and get an estimate.
Unemployment compensation is fully taxable. Unless you're only collecting it for a week or two, you'll probably want to have taxes withheld from it. If you don't have anything withheld it's entirely possible that you will have a balance due at tax time next year.

Whether or not you get a refund depends upon your total tax liability and how much was withheld. If too much was withheld, you get a refund. If not enough was withheld, you have to pay.
