One of the things that relatively few people pay attention to when filling out their W-4 form is exactly how much they're withholding for taxes. Sure, they're able choose how many exemptions they're eligible for based upon the number of dependents in the household but that doesn't address if the proper amount is being withheld.
Many people set up their withholding so that they receive a refund come tax time. In fact, the average refund is expected to be over $2,000. That may not necessarily the best idea. A big refund is akin to giving the government an interest-free loan and that money is usually best served in your own pockets instead of Uncle Sam's. You shoot aim for having your tax withholding match your estimated tax bill.
You probably won't hit it right on the head the first time so you may have to make a few adjustments over the course of a few months. Start by selecting a number of exemptions matching the number of eligible dependents in the house. In other words, a family of four will take four exemptions. See how this affects your tax withholding and your take home pay.
Estimating what your tax bill will be for the coming year will also be more art than science. You can start by seeing what your total withholding was in the previous year (which can be found on your W-9 form). If you need another means of estimating your tax bill, check out the IRS Withholding Calculator that can be found at www.irs.gov. You enter in some basic payroll information and you can obtain your estimate. Adjust your payroll withholding accordingly until you hit the mark.
It may require a bit of extra work on your part but the result will be better planning and more control over your financial situation.

I got 20000.00 bonus from my company but the federal tax deduction showed 5667 Isn't it too high?
Not really. How bonuses are taxed is determined at the state level. One method uses a flat 25% federal income tax withholding. Another, the aggregate method, looks at your income and withholding to date and may be more favorable to you. If your employer, or your payroll providers, didn't treat the bonus as a one-time payment, the software may have assumed it was a recurring payment and withheld (too much) accordingly.
