Filing Jointly husband makes more wife has two part time jobs

[Edel23]

Hi I made a mistake not filling out the multiple job worksheet when I was single and did not get enough taxes taken out of my pay last year and ended up oweing. Now that I am married, and will be filing jointly with my husband, do I need to worry about the multiple job worksheet? For context, he makes more than I do.

Hi,

Good for your for getting ahead of the game! Having disparate incomes and getting married are two important reasons to review your W-4s.   We have a tool for you!  You can easily get to the correct W-4s  using our free W-4 calculator.  This tool is a great aid for getting your W-4s filled out correctly, particularly when you have different incomes and are married (the W-4 has instructions for this, but they can be a little daunting when it's in IRS-speak.   

This Tax Caster may also be helpful to check in on where you are (withholding against total taxes).  I recommend you use the W-4 calculator now, adjust your W-4's if/as needed and run the tax caster around the end of September to check your progress).

Please give a thumbs up to cheer below if this answer helps!

Best,

Karen
