Withholding

A method for paying taxes in which a company holds back enough money from an employee’s compensation to cover the taxes that the employee owes on it. The company then deposits the taxes directly with the IRS and (if applicable) the state and/or local tax authorities. For details on how withholding is reported to you, see the related FAQs on this website.
