new job, married filing jointly, permanent resident

[Erikapt]

Hi Turbotax Team, 

Thank you for this forum. I recently started a new job with a higher salary, I have also recently become a permanent resident.  For tax purposes, we are Married Filing Jointly. How should we fill out the W4 to get a refund in 2024? Also, does it need to be coordinated with my couple's W4? We are in CA

Thank you!!

Hello,
Increasing your withholding amount on your IRS W-4 form will give you more money back each tax season.
 If you want to get more money back in your tax refund each year, you can designate that a larger amount of your paycheck is withheld.

just enter the extra amount you want withheld from each paycheck on line 4(c) of your W-4 form.

Hello Erikapt!

The Turbo Tax W4 tax calculator tool can help you determine how to fill our your W4  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/w4/

Once you fill out the information you can make adjustments for additional withholding if needed by using the slider. I've included a screenshot of what this looks like. 

I hope this helps!
