Last year we contacted my wife's employer to say that there was not enough tax being taken out. We have no kids, and on a check of well over $1000, there would be 0-$5 taken out for Federal Tax. We expressed how we couldn't believe that could be right, but the person we talked to said it was. We finally threw up our hands and filled out a new W4 asking for a flat additional amount to be taken out. Now after reviewing our tax situation we have found we want even more taken out. Looking at the last three of her checks, only that flat amount plus some tiny amount ranging from 0 to $5 has been withheld. The only significant amount being withheld is the "extra" amount we asked for. Could we have filled out her W4 wrong, or does this indicate a problem with the company's calculations?
