Question

question 3 of 20
tax withholding is money that:
a. you do not have to declare to the government because it is not taxed.
b. you owe to the government after completing your tax forms.
c. the government returns to you if you have paid too much in taxes.
d. your employer sends to the government for your taxes.

Explanation:

Tax withholding refers to the portion of an employee's wages that an employer deducts and remits directly to the tax authority (government) on the employee's behalf, to cover the employee's annual income tax liability. Option A is incorrect because withholding is taxed income. Option B describes taxes owed after filing, not withholding. Option C describes a tax refund, not withholding.

Answer:

D. your employer sends to the government for your taxes.
