This makes sense and worth a try to at least get a reference point mid year. In terms of Step 2 on the W4, is option (c) worth it if the difference in income between the two is roughly 40% (and the lower paying job is more than half the pay of the higher paying job)? Both husband and wife only have 1 job each. Or, is it better to go with option (a) and use the calculator for the most accurate estimate?
