NO other income, NOT making any itemized deductions.
Is there anything else that I would update on my w4 other than changing my status from single to married if I am taking the standard deduction and my spouse does not earn income? I feel like I'm missing something?
The w-4 is 4 pages of worksheets and instructions, not just the front page. But if you are going to file jointly, and you aren't itemizing, you don't have dependents, and your spouse doesn't work, the instructions tell you to fill out section 1, check the box for joint filing in 1c, skip sections 2-4, and sign the form. That's all. The formula that your employer uses to determine withholding (built into their payroll computer) already accounts for the standard deduction.
