In this clip, Leah and Michelle Leesmann break down the real impact of tax withholdings on your day-to-day finances.

Leah explains why checking in with your HR manager matters, you might be giving the government an interest-free loan without even realizing it. By adjusting your withholdings, you could keep more money in each paycheck and avoid living paycheck to paycheck.

Michelle echoes the importance of this, pointing out how many people rely on tax refunds to pay off debt or make big purchases, instead of using that money throughout the year to better support their families.
