New Stimulus Law Means New Withholding Tables

The centerpiece of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, enacted February 17, 2009, is a $400 individual "Making Work Pay" income tax credit ($800 for joint filers) for 2009 and 2010 that will be distributed through reduced withholding from workers' paychecks.
