Maybe- if you had your W4 with the wrong filing status, this usually results in lower withholding and owing money at the end of the year. If you also made more, that would definitely factor into owing at the end of the year. It most likely was a combination of both factors.
You can file jointly even if your withholding was incorrect. Just make sure you have the W4 updated so you do not owe for 2025!
