New Smartphone App Can Give Employees Instant Raise
September 8, 2011 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – The American Payroll Association (APA) launched a Paycheck Maximizer smartphone application to help workers potentially add hundreds of dollars to their paycheck instantly.
Reported by Tara Cantore
The free application helps workers properly fill out a Form W-4 to better match the taxes withheld from each paycheck with their actual tax liability.
According to a press release from the APA, last year the average tax refund was over $3,000, an overpayment of more than $250 a month in taxes. The Paycheck Maximizer app will make it easier for America’s workers to more accurately fill out their Form W-4 to put the money back in their paycheck.
The free app is available for iPhone and Android smartphones. To download it, visit www.mypaycheck.org.
