My husband who is a stay at home dad recently got a full time job on 10/08/25. Re w4, what changes shall we write? can anyone verify if we are doing it correctly?   Our situation is: we have one child. my income is 103k and his is 34k. Currently, my w4 is married filing jointly w no dependents. I like it like that so they can take the max amount of taxes. On w4 - We want to cont to file as married filing jointly. Here when it gets tricky. In step 2: if we use B - using the multiple jobs worksheet.     step 2b(pt.1) two jobs - it shows 7620 in the mult jobs table divided by 26 (biweekly pay for the higher paying job)      step 2b(pt 4) is equals to $293     ---- this $293 result, is it really necessary to write this on step 4c (extra withholding part) on the higher paying job's w4? what can happen if the higher paying job keeps it zero?  How about on the lower paying job's w4, shall he keep all zero on step 4c? Also, what if he adds our child as dependent, will only be his pay be affected for adding dependent or both of our pay even I put zero dependents?   I asked someone who knows about taxes and she advised to keep step 4c zero  - so now we are confused.   Thank you so much. 

I had  activated Turbo Tax and done my tax, then I back up turbo tax with the whole windows 10 system to my computer. Then I uninstall the turbo tax.  Today, I restore the windows 10 system from the backup which included a activated turbo tax to the same computer.  When restore completed,  I click on the Turbo Tex icon and it first run update then ask me to activate it.   I don't understand why it  asks me to activate it while I restore it to the same computer.   So, I think Turbo Tax software has a bug.  It shouldn't ask me to activate it again if I restore it to the same computer.

Hola que tal, quisiera preguntar sobre el numero ITIN de mi esposa, como en abril mande una enmienda ya que tuve un error e hice mis taxes como soltero por eso envié la enmienda para cambiarlo a casado Envié en un paquete el formulario 1040 y 1040X mío y el formulario W7 (datos de mi esposa) y el pasaporte mexicano de mi esposa porque ella es de México y no tiene SSN ni numero ITIN Si recibí un cheque de parte del IRS en agosto entonces supongo que si se hizo el cambio del estado civil en mis taxes, pero no he recibido nada acerca del numero ITIN para mi esposa ni su pasaporte Ya espere cerca de 2 meses pero no he recibido respuesta ni nada acerca del numero ITIN para mi esposa y ya me estoy preocupando ya intenté comunicarme con el IRS pero no me dan una respuesta clara y se me complica hablar por teléfono porque las llamadas se cortan al pasar 5 o 10 minutos cuando me contesta un agente. Sabrán si puedo acudir personalmente a las oficinas del IRS en Austin TX para preguntar que pasa o bien si me pueden regresar el pasaporte de mi esposa ya que lo necesito porque ya falta poco tiempo para la próxima temporada de impuestos. Saben a que dirección exactamente podría acudir o si necesitaria cita para ser atendido De ante mano muchas gracias y espero me puedan apoyar

My husband and I are considering converting our remaining 4 Traditional IRA accounts to Roth this year.  Two of those accounts are nondeductible accounts (earnings are taxable) and the other two are traditional deductible accounts.  We have converted several other IRA accounts to Roth years ago and also have other Roth IRA accounts that were established as Roth.  I am assuming that the pro rata rule will apply.  But does this rule apply only to the 4 accounts that we are considering converting or do I have to include the previously converted accounts and/or the accounts that were originally started and contributed to as Roth?
