Owing taxes unexpectedly can be confusing. There are a variety of reasons this can happen, including receiving unemployment income or taking on an additional job. Also it's important to complete the W-4 for your employer correctly so that enough tax is withheld. They can only go by what you enter on that form and the amount of wages per pay period.
