Hello,
Our 2024 tax return was huge, and I would rather get more money per paycheck in 2025. My initial w4 with employer was filed as single (though I was married) and no dependents. Now we have 3 dependents and another on the way in March 2025. My wife does not work but stays home with our kids and our only income is mine (one W2). I recently updated my w4 with same employer in Jan 2025 as married filing jointly and put in 3 dependents. I looked at my most recent paystub after the updated w4 and it was higher but showed $0 in federal tax was withheld. How do I fix this so I get more money back per paycheck and still get a smaller refund instead of owing?
thanks!
