We had a withdrawal from our paycheck every paycheck to pay extra on taxes. Now we owe. Why?

From our W4 we did this.

It depends.  Unfortunately, we cannot see your tax return since this a public forum.  

 

However, it is possible you just did not have enough withheld on your wages.  To avoid owing taxes in the future, you may want to update your W-4 Form to ensure you are withholding enough in income taxes throughout the year.  You can update your W-4 within TurboTax itself while preparing your tax return by following these instructions.  If you have already filed, you can also use this link to help you update your W-4 Form.  Regardless of which option you choose, you will need to print out the W-4, and submit it to your employer in order to have them make the necessary adjustments to your paycheck.
