Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello AnjieF91,

 

Congratulations on the marriage.

 

Your partner will not be your dependent but you will file your tax return as married filing joint instead of single, which will increase your standard deduction to $25,900 for 2022 instead of the standard deduction of $12,950 for single.

 

As far as the W-4, you can change it to withhold at the MFJ rate (Step 1 box c) or leave it as it is and see how it works out at the end of the year and then change it then. Changing to MFJ will reduce your tax with holding and give you more in each pay check and may have an affect on you refund amount. 

 

Here is the link to the 2022 W-4 if you decide you want to change the with holding https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf

Thanks
