Not clear on this issue

My company has changed ownership and the new company has changed my deductions. I always gross $110 a week and net $95, single no deductions. The new company is paying me $73. They have stated it is considered supplemental and tax at 22% . I normally have zero taken out for federal but have optioned $3 weekly. I don't really understand why this change (i have checked tax tables and $0 is correct). My question is since nothing on my deductions has changed(this is my only income) will I get back the additional monies on my income tax return?

Utilising taxes losses effectively

Hi, I am looking for assistance with utilising a significant (to me anyway) amour of losses from previous years taxes and am very much struggling to find ways of managing this without having to write down to zero (ie using my losses on tax free income). I have over $60k in losses and unfortunately didn’t earn as much as I wanted last year to get as high an income as possible for these losses. I would greatly appreciate knowing my options. I am also very keen on finding an accountant/planner that can assist with an effective tax and overall wealth strategy moving forward in better income years so would really appreciate advice and contacts
