<prompt> Human: So...my coworkers gave me some advice that Im unsure of. I work in 911 dispatch. We recently lost a dispatcher to forced resignation and as a result, overtime has been plentiful to the tune of 30 hours overtime on my next upcoming check. The pay period has not ended but Im working my regularly scheduled days so the 30 hours overtime are already locked inIm going to New York next week on vacation and my coworkers told me to change my W-4 withholdings to 99 so that I get as much of that OT money as possible. One of my coworkers, a 20 year vet, had told me that anything over 20 hours OT usually gets wiped out by taxes so changing the withholding preserves a greater portion for myself. Otherwise, Ive claimed Single 0 for most of my working life. They told me to change it back right after payday so that its only a 1 time dealIt all sounded shady to me so I wanted to ask folks who might know better. Googling wasnt particularly helpful as I couldnt find anything related to a 1 time change of the withholdings. Thank you for any advice you can offer  <response>: You still pay the same in tax at the end of the day. It just depends if the irs holds it till tax day or you do. People who get a large return are just giving the government an interest free loan. Then when you file they give that money back to you.
