Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That should not show on the revised W-4, but what it means is "Married but withhold at higher single rate" would result in MORE tax withheld from your wages. Tax withheld at Single Rate is a bit higher than tax withheld at the Married Rate. 

 

This would be a good option if you are married, but your spouse makes a higher income or you are in a tax situation where you usually owe more tax at the end of the year than an average married Taxpayer.
