Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @Nataliafanelli 

 

Here is a link to a calculator to help determine what you should be entering on your W-4. 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/w4/

One thing to remember is that when you are both claiming married filing jointly for withholding, your taxes are being withheld with the assumption that you will have 2 standard deductions for married filing joint (one for each of you), but of course when you file you only have one standard deduction. This can lead to under withholding, so it's important to be sure you fill the W-4 out correctly. You can go through the calculator and worksheets, but you can also each just claim single and leave the rest of the W-4 blank. This doesn't mean you will file as "single" at tax time, it just helps withholding to be calculated correctly for a 2 earner household.

Hope this helps! 🙂
