I filed my 2022 taxes jointly with my spouse who I married in Sept. 2021. I checked the box in my W-4 selected as "married filing jointly" after that event. We were doing our 2022 taxes and were shocked to see how little the amount withheld for Federal was compared to 2021. We have 0 exemptions and so the maximum has always been taken out, therefore we have always received a return. We have never owed in prior years but were royally screwed this go around. We would like to know how to avoid this in the future. I have tried talking with my employers HR and they will only tell me that it's due to being married. Any guidance is appreciated, thank you!
