Hello Expect for the last year and this year its kind of surprising that we both owed the FED around $7k of Fed Tax. Though it was just my wife who had a salary increase from 2022 and in 2023 both of us had salary increase.
Anyway this year while prepping our taxes again using TT, We ended up paying $7K in fed tax again and on TT explanation why do I owe $7K?
Turbo tax said" Your filing status is married filing jointly and your income came from wages of $175,xxx for you and $96,xxx for your spouse for total wages of $272,xxx... and I was like this is so wrong. Our total wages is only $175,xxx (both me and my wife) why did TT added another $96,xxx (my wife's wages) to our total wages which is $175,xxx??? This thing didn't prompt me last year I filed and ended paying the FED w/ $7K extra taxes.
Please help.
Thank you.
