Am I Having Enough Withheld?

Failing to estimate your tax withholding properly may cost you in a variety of ways. If you receive an income tax refund, essentially you have provided the IRS with an interest-free loan; however, if you owe taxes when you file your return, you may have to scramble for cash at tax time. When determining the correct withholding amount, most taxpayers’ objective is to have just enough taxes withheld to prevent them owing the IRS when they file their return. You can accomplish this by understanding IRS Publication 505, properly completing Form W-4 (and accompanying worksheets) and providing an updated Form W-4 to your employer when your circumstances significantly change.

Form W-4 helps you determine the proper withholding amount. Two factors determine the amount of income tax that your employer withholds from your paycheck: the amount you earn and the information provided on Form W-4. This form asks you for three pieces of information:

  • The number of withholding allowances you want to claim
  • Whether you want taxes to be withheld at the single, married, or married with tax withheld at single rate:
  • The additional amount (if any) you want withheld from your paycheck.
  • When both spouses work and have taxes withheld at the married rate, they sometimes end up with insufficient taxes withheld. If this happens to you, remember that you can always choose to withhold at the single rate

Complete the Form W-4 worksheets to claim the correct number of allowances. Think of allowances as cash in your pocket at the time that you receive your paycheck. The more allowances you claim, the less taxes are taken from your paycheck (and the more cash ends up in your pocket on payday). The following factors determine your number of allowances:

  • The number of jobs that you work
  • The deductions, adjustments to income, and credits that you expect to take during the year
  • Your filing status
  • Whether your spouse works

To claim the correct number of allowances, complete Form W-4’s worksheets including a personal allowances worksheet, a deductions and adjustments worksheet, and a two-earner/two-job worksheet. IRS Publication 505 explains these worksheets.

Check your withholding. To avoid surprises at tax time, it’s a good idea to periodically check your withholding. However, in the following cases, accurate completion of the Form W-4 worksheets alone won’t guarantee that you’ll have the correct amount of tax withheld:

  • When you’re married and both spouses work, or if either of you start or stop working
  • When you or your spouse work more than one job
  • When you have significant nonwage income, such as interest, dividends, alimony, or self-employment income,
  • When you have a lifestyle change (e.g., marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, new home, retirement) that affects the tax deductions or credits you may claim
  • When tax law changes affect the amount of tax you’ll owe

In these cases, IRS Publication 505 can help you compare the total tax that you’ll withhold for the year with the tax that you expect to owe. This will help you determine any additional amount you may need to withhold to avoid writing a check on April 15 or help you identify if you’re having too much tax withheld.

Legal Matters

Presented by: Bradford & Holliman, Estate Planning, www.bradfordholliman.com

The saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” certainly applies to long-term care planning.  

One of the primary goals that seniors voice is the desire to make sure their heirs receive certain assets at the senior’s death. A Last Will and Testament or a Revocable Living Trust can accomplish this goal; but, if those assets are spent on long-term care before the senior dies, the senior fails to achieve the real goal. Additionally, if care is not taken to preserve assets while also adding any source of available assistance to the long-term care plan, the senior may not be able to maintain independence or the desired standard of living as the senior ages.  

Pre-planning can prevent these mistakes. Pre-planning allows the senior to make educated choices about the various ways to preserve assets and to pay for long-term care. Done, at least, five years in advance, seniors can achieve most of their goals.

The best way to begin is to meet with an elder law attorney (you want one that has a lot of experience with long term care planning) to discuss your goals. The attorney can then help you develop a plan specific to your goals. Ideally, the plan will work to preserve assets and identify all available sources of government benefits, such as VA pension benefits, to enhance the senior’s income to remain at home. The plan will also address what happens in a worse case scenario when nursing home care is required.  

By planning early, the senior is able to maintains control over his or her life by deciding in advance how to handle various crisis issues that may arise. A plan also allows the senior to make sure key family and friends understand what to do as situations occur and have the legal authority to handle those situations for the senior.  

In summary, don’t think a Last Will and Testament or Revocable Living Trust is all you need to do to plan for the future. Make sure you also plan for the events that may happen prior to your death that could derail your estate plan.

Encouraging Word

One of my favorite Bible verses is Luke 4:18, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free whose who are downtrodden.” To me it describes in general terms what we do at The Jimmie Hale Mission and the people we serve.

Spiritual Proclamation. The verse begins by talking about a spiritual proclamation; “to preach the gospel to the poor.” The Gospel (good news of salvation) must be shared. When it is presented and received, then needs are met. Poor is defined as “not having your needs met.” The gospel message is able to address one’s spiritual, physical, emotional and intellectual needs. If these needs are not addressed, there is something missing; you are incomplete and operating from a deficit; life is out of balance.

Spiritual Healing. Next is spiritual healing; “to heal the broken hearted.” Only the gospel can mend a heart or life that has been broken. Only the Great Physician can administer spiritual healing. Only Jesus Christ can fill the void and vacuum (God Spot) in our life.

Spiritual Freedom. Followed by spiritual freedom; “to proclaim release to the captives.” Only Christ’s payment for our sin can set us free from spiritual bondage. John 8:36 says, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” As you experience spiritual freedom then you can receive spiritual sight (enlightenment); “and recovery of sight to the blind.” Before we can comprehend spiritual things, we must have spiritual discernment (insight). Spiritual birth proceeds spiritual life.

Spiritual Comfort. Then comes spiritual comfort; “to set free those who are downtrodden (bruised).” Because of sin we all live in a fallen world and are a broken people. Since we are oppressed and bruised by the trials of life; we need some relief, comfort and encouragement.

Luke 4:19 concludes by saying, “to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.” In other words, “to receive the Lord’s favor/blessing. Now the spiritual blessing comes. Aren’t you glad that Jesus fulfilled His mission?!

There are many decisions we face in raising our children. It seems the assessment of their needs is constant. Sleep training, feeding, disciplining, discipling, developing their giftings, and education.

My family began considering education options early on. Through prayer, studying God’s Word, and speaking with wise and seasoned friends, I knew I wanted to make the decision concerning their education through the lens of biblical stewardship. As Christian parents, we have the important role of stewarding our children’s gifts and equipping them to go into the world as a light of the gospel. One of the ways we have chosen to do that is through homeschooling. Homeschooling allows me to be engaged in important conversations through learning as He unfolds His purpose in their lives little by little. Reading, writing, and talking about ideas that help us know God and make Him known are part of planting our children in the harvest fields of the Kingdom.

Three things that were helpful for us to consider in making the decision to homeschool were:

  1. What is the calling God has given us?
  2. What is the provision God has given to us?
  3. What is the ability God has given to us?

Our family was already committed to educating our children in teaching them to display what love, grace, faith, and hope looks like. I think we are all homeschoolers in that sense because we should be committed to live the way that Deuteronomy 6 has commanded us. It was after attending a Classical Conversations Parent Practicum the summer my daughter started kindergarten that I learned there were other families, just like mine, within my community, that also had a desire to view their children’s education through that same lens of biblical stewardship. This was so freeing and encouraging! At that parent practicum five years ago, the Lord reminded me I am not alone, and He will equip me. I gained the confidence needed to step out in faith and trust Him for the best.

Now, with a nine, six, and sixteen-month-old, I am intentionally engaged in a Classical Conversations community, as the Director of the McCalla campus. There’s something to be said for being a part of a group of dedicated, Christ following parents who are loving one another and one another’s children through our homeschooling journey together! It has been an extension of the body of Christ in our lives, for which I am immensely grateful!

The first person to preach an Easter sermon was a former demoniac. If that isn’t scandalous enough, the aforementioned host of seven demons was also, dare I say it…a woman. Mary Magdalene has a powerful, yet mysterious presence in the gospel narratives. While most of the disciples were cowering in fear and hiding from the authorities, Mary was a fortress of faith. She followed Jesus to Calvary, bravely escorting his mother down the Via Dolorosa. She stood before his cross, watching Jesus absorb the entirety of humanity’s evil upon himself before he died a shameful death. It is Mary who tells Peter and John about the resurrection, thus making her the first to share the good news of Easter. Women were the last at the cross and the first at the tomb, and Mary Magdalene was at the center of it all.

The Women of Easter, by Liz Curtis Higgs, is an inspiring account of three women who were witnesses to the week that changed the world. Mary of Bethany, Mary of Nazareth, and Mary Magdalene are the source for much of the information recorded in the gospels. They were not just followers – they were beloved insiders, people who Jesus traveled and lived with. They ate meals with him, walked with him, and touched him. They slept in the same house with him, sat at his feet as he described the forthcoming kingdom, and traveled before dawn to anoint his dead body, a task usually reserved for the closest relative.

The silence about these leading women in the post-resurrection literature of the New Testament is rather strange. What happens to the women after the resurrection is a mystery. But we do know this – when God determined who Jesus would appear to first and entrust with the first announcement that Christ had risen, he did not choose any of the eleven apostles, nor did he select a high priest or a Roman ruler. He chose Mary Magdalene, a woman who loved him enough to seek out his tomb in the darkness, when all hopes were dashed, and faith was dead and buried. He chose the women of Easter.

Are We There Yet?

Justin and Heather Stroud (far right), along with two of the other organizing families for Castin’ ‘N Catchin’, hold a check with the total amount of funds raised during the 2018 tournament. $120,062.32 went directly to Children’s of Alabama and the Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center of Alabama.
Justin and Heather Stroud (far right), along with two of the other organizing families for Castin’ ‘N Catchin’, (left to right) Lacey and Jason Simpson as well as Jodie and Drew McNutt, hold a check with the total amount of funds raised during the 2018 tournament. $120,062.32 went directly to Children’s of Alabama and the Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center of Alabama.

Justin and Heather Stroud were aware that their son, William, would have several heart defects before he was born in August of 2013. “We delivered him at UAB and he was transferred that day to Children’s of Alabama,” explains Heather. William underwent one of three open heart surgeries at just six days old. Heather adds, “Unfortunately, he passed away on January 15, 2014, in the hospital and we were never able to take him home.” Heather shares that the following May, several of her college sorority sisters reached out telling her about another sorority sister that was travelling a similar road. What followed was “a total God thing.” Together, four families that all had precious boys born with congenital heart defects, came together to organize the Captain D’s Castin’ ‘N Catchin’ Fishing Tournament which raises funds for the Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center of Alabama.  

The 4th Annual Captain D’s Castin’ ‘N Catchin’ tournament is Saturday, April 27, 2019, at the Goose Pond Colony Resort on the banks of Lake Guntersville in Scottsboro, Ala. The goal for the first tournament three years ago was to raise $10,000. Thanks to amazing sponsors and donors, the total money raised was $115,000! Since then, the tournament has raised more than $300,000 for Children’s of Alabama in just three years. Justin says, “We want to stress that the tournament is run by four families who have a passion to give back to the Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center. We are eternally grateful for the love, support and care they gave our boys and us.”

For the first time, the 2019 fishing tournament will have a school division open to anyone currently on a school fishing team, grades 7-12! Learn more at www.castinncatchin.org.

The fishing clinic will take place on Saturday, April 27, from 12-2 p.m. at the Goose Pond Colony Resort.

To register and learn more, visit  www.castinncatchin.org. Participants that register before April 12 will receive a tournament t-shirt. This year’s grand prize is at least $5,000. The top 60 winners will also receive either a cash or fishing prize. If you are passionate about fishing, this is a great opportunity to have fun and raise money for children like William! The fun day of fishing will commence at safe light, 5:30 a.m.

Audrey McElveen, played an integral role in helping her husband Micah launch Vapor Ministries. The couple lives in Sylacauga with their children Arrow and Given, near the ministries’ headquarters.
Audrey McElveen, played an integral role in helping her husband Micah launch Vapor Ministries. The couple lives in Sylacauga with their children Arrow and Given, near the ministries’ headquarters.

A surfing accident nearly took Micah McElveen’s life. He suffered a broken neck and underwent years of rehabilitation after waking up as a quadriplegic. McElveen admits that before this tragedy his life was very self-centered. “My dreams, at a young age, were all about me, accolades and assets. I wanted to be rich and famous.” McElveen believes God used this experience to personally teach him about the brevity of life which caused him to completely reevaluate his life goals.

McElveen decided to use his life to help others and share the love of Christ. After spending time in an African slum, he began to feel a burden for those living in poverty. He dropped out of his college graduate program and decided to go back to Africa and invest his time furthering the Gospel. He founded Vapor Ministries in Sylacauga, Ala., which was birthed from what the Scriptures tell us about God’s heart for the poor and lost. “While we can’t change the fact that life is short, we can choose to invest it versus waste it,” McElveen shares. On April 23, 2019, McElveen will speak at the Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce Prayer Breakfast. The focus of his talk will be on how we can all use our brief time on earth wisely and intentionally for the glory of God.

Vapor Ministries founder Micah McElveen will share his story of how God used a tragic accident in his life to His glory. Hear him speak April 23 at the Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce Prayer breakfast, 400 Beaumont Dr, Birmingham, 35216.

McElveen will also share how Vapor Ministries’ staff of 500 is working to, “meet needs, feed souls, and elevate God.” The ministry has five operating centers in Africa that work to meet the needs of the community while helping to alleviate poverty and share the love of Christ. At the centers, people have access to medical support, feeding assistance, disease-awareness and disease-prevention education, job assistance, hygiene training and weekly sports leagues. “We establish sustainable centers for alleviating poverty and multiplying disciples in third-world environments,” explains McElveen. A practical way you can help the ministry is to shop at or donate your gently used goods to one of the two Vapor Thrift Stores in the Birmingham area. These thrift stores directly generate resources for the five centers in Africa while also providing affordable goods to shoppers, vaporministries.org.

The Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce Prayer Breakfast will begin with a buffet at 7 a.m. followed by the program. A limited number of tickets are available for purchase for $20 each. To purchase tickets, visit www.vestaviahills.org and click on the calendar feature for April 23 or call 205-823-5011.
