A W-4 withholding checklist updates the form after a real life change and checks the next pay stub to see that withholding moved.
People set withholding once, never look at the tax line, and meet the difference in April.
Why This Happens
Net pay is the number they watch. The W-4 sits in a portal they do not reopen after a new child or a second job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tax advice?
No. This W-4 withholding checklist is the paperwork sequence. Your numbers belong on the IRS form, the IRS estimator, or with a tax professional.
When should I update a W-4?
After a marriage, a child, a new job, or a second income, and when you keep owing or keep getting a surprise refund.
Can I claim exempt so nothing is withheld?
Only if you meet the rules printed on the form. Inventing an exemption to inflate a paycheck can create a tax bill.
How do I know payroll did it?
Look at federal withholding on the next pay stub and ask payroll if it did not change.
