Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks to all who responded with tips and feedback.  I will try the IRS calculator.   Our situation is straightforward -- no dependents, no child tax credits, etc.

 

I have one follow-up question.   Is this a true statement: 

 

If one spouse of a married couple, filing jointly, earns substantially less income, deductions should only be recorded on the W-4 for the higher wage earner.  

 

I read the W-4 instructions to say this, but I have a hard time believing it is an accurate interpretation.  Is my understanding correct, or incorrect?

 

Thanks again.
