Reply to comment by 84740296169 in How should line 4b on w-4 affect my take home pay? by [deleted]

So you are saying my paycheck will not change no matter what is written on 4b?

My taxable gross is the exact same for December 2022 and January 2023. Does that mean my updated W-4 has not been processed?

No. I mean that your taxable income is reduced by $6000. The withholding would only reduce by the amount of taxes you no longer have to pay on that $6000. Depending on how much you are making it seems like they reduced your withholding by $50 which lines up if you are making less than $20k a year.

Oh then the numbers check out. $4800 * .12 / 12 is about $48 less in tax a month.
