My wife and I file each year Married/Jointly. As long as the total amount of family's estimated annual tax liability is withheld throughout the year, is it possible for one of us to set up our W-4 to have additional tax withheld each pay period that covers the estimated liability for both of us combined; while the other has very little taken out of their paychecks? My curiosity is strictly whether or not that's possible, not why anyone would consider doing that.. If it is possible, what's the easiest/preferred way for the one who wants as little taken out as possible to go about filling out their W-4? Would you just add additional allowances as necessary to get there?
