Ok, im not really financially savvy, but my father in law noticed his wife's pay check was slightly higher than normal and see gets a set rate pay check each week. Upon investigation he noticed the federal tax was about 20$ less than normal, and upon investigating mine and my partners ours were also less.. As i understand they are just doing this to stimulate the economy by putting more cash in the hand of americans?? This means we wont get our normal tax refunds at the end of the year. Has anyone else noticed this? And what should i do about it? I like to have the refund come to me at the end of the year because i do NOT like having to worry about my money and putting it into savings and what not, even though that seems like a good idea, i'd rather go the normal route. Is there a form i can file to make this go back to 'normal'??

No. Its a passed law. You can fill out a new tax form (W4?) and I believe there is a spot to put "additional money witheld from check" so you can have more taken out. :dunno

There should only be $400 extra throughout the year as part of the stimulas.

Lol, i will reach that 400$ in a mere 3-4 months. My girl is filing a W4 which you are suppose to be able to set what you want taken out..

The $400 is a tax credit, which means your tax liability goes down by that amount. So they're not just withholding less to give you cash now. You get to keep the extra $400.

Either way, if you want to know how much extra you may want to have witheld, here's a nice calculator: http://www.paycheckcity.com/W4/w4instruction.asp
