Yes, I always claim my dependent when filing my taxes. I was initially also indicating that I had a dependent on my W-4 (I was claiming a dependent on my W-4 because I have the higher income, my wife would just state that she was married filing jointly on her W-4). However, I was told by a turbotax rep previously that this was likely the reason why I was owing taxes when filing. In other words, he thought that not enough tax was being withheld so (due to our status of married filing jointly and having one dependent) so he advised that we remove the dependent so more tax would be withheld.
