Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Filing jointly is almost always the better option. >>  Married filing jointly vs filing separately.   What you put on your W-4 that you give to your employer only affects how much withholding there is on each of your paychecks.   The IRS does not know or care what you put on your W-4 so, no, changing your W-4, won't be a red flag.
