My husband and I just got married and want to update our W-4s once our name change is final in a few weeks. I make less than him (about 38% / 62%) so we've chosen to not update his W-4 other than to "married" instead of "single". What changes should be made to my W-4 to help ensure we won't have to pay taxes when we file? We've both always had our W-4s set to "single" and "0" for allowances. Thank you!

Hello trentonlsd!
Now that you are married and can file MFJ/MFS, you will find yourself in a better tax place because there are several tax benefits to this filing status.
The new W-4 doesn't use the old allowances any more. The IRS released the new W-4 form with the hope that withholdings will be more accurate for taxpayers.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using TurboTax Live!
