Question Details: My employer pays the insurance premium on our disability. What rate will the federal income tax be figured out at,and can it be changed?
The tax rate will be the same that's used for your payroll withholding, essentially. If you usually get a refund, this might make the refund a bit larger. The only change you can make is to change the withholding allowances used (by filling out a new Form W-2).
What some people don't realize is that when you get an income tax refund, what you're getting is really a loan repayment from the government, and the loan is interest-free. For some people, it's the only way to save money, so the lost interest isn't important; if you have the discipline to save, or your bank can set up an automatic savings deposit each month, you can do a little better.

Are you a lawyer?
