Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you for your response but my question was regarding specifically the California State W-4 (https://edd.ca.gov/siteassets/files/pdf_pub_ctr/de4.pdf) and there are allowances that we claim. It also asks for our tax status which we choose from single, married, or head of household. There is no married filing single vs jointly option. 

 

For our situation, my wife and I both work and have no children/dependents. I am assuming we both select married tax status and claim "1" for ourselves however there is this option - "Allowance for your spouse (if not separately claimed by your spouse) — enter 1". Should the person making more money claim the other spouse? Thank you!
