“It's not too late to adjust your 2012 tax withholding to avoid big tax refunds or tax bills when you file your tax return next year,” said Jennifer Jenkins, IRS spokesperson for Ohio.  “Act soon, though, to adjust your tax withholding to bring the taxes you pay throughout the year closer to what you actually owe.”
