You can legally adjust your withholding (personal allowances) on your W4 so that your tax payments more accurately reflect what is due. Most employers allow this change every December -Januart. The IRS provides a free calculator at https://www.irs.gov/individuals/irs-withholding-calculator

Change your withholding. You're giving the federal government a $4000+ interest free loan you could be investing/saving.
