This is a moronic take. The payroll computers compute how much to take out so that you will not owe when it comes time to file. If you shorten the withholding so that you can take a little more money home, you will owe when it comes time to file.

When you are a millionaire, you can easily afford to owe and extra 60,000 cuz you got the bucks. But when you only earn 60,000. A tax liability would be devastating. Instead of the tiny refund you would use to make a car payment or pay a dental bill, now you owe Uncle Same.

The one good thing about this stupid advice is that the results will happen on trumps watch (TY2026 is due in April 2027)
