Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Here are some steps to help you adjust your W-4 forms to avoid owing taxes:

1. Update Your Filing Status:

   • Married Filing Jointly: If you plan to file jointly, make sure to select "Married filing jointly" on your W-4 forms 
      

2. Account for Multiple Jobs:

   • Multiple Jobs or Spouse Works:  This helps ensure more accurate withholding by accounting for combined income. When you combine your incomes on a joint tax return, the total can place you in a much higher tax bracket than either of your individual incomes would suggest, leading to a surprise tax bill.

3. Use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator:

   • This tool helps you determine the correct amount of tax to withhold based on your combined income, filing status, and other factors. It’s especially useful for newlyweds. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator 
4. Additional Withholding: If you owed taxes last year, consider specifying an additional amount to be withheld on line 4(c) of the W-4 form.
