Starting new job- how do I make sure I have enough withheld on W4?
I had a full time job that took out taxes Jan 1 - April 28th. Then I started a new full time job on May 2nd. How do I ensure I have enough taxes being taken out of my paycheck? The IRS witholding calculator isn't clear if the $ I should be entering to estimate if I will need to have additional $ witheld is gross or net, and it's showing I'm going to owe $12,000. In my previous job I filed as single, 0 and have set up my new job w-4 to have the most withheld. I'm just worried with a higher salary that I'll owe and would rather have more taken out now and get a refund than have to pay. Any advice on calculating to see if I'll need to owe or how to identify how much additional to be taken out of my paychecks would be helpful. I don't have any additional investments or sources of income.
