Hello - my wife and I file our taxes jointly.  I am wondering the most accurate way to fill in our W-4s.  We have one dependent child and she makes about $10k more pre year than I do.  I'm most interested in guidance on steps 2-4 and how to claim a dependent and how many deductions we should claim.  Thanks very much.

    Use the Tax Withholding Estimator on the IRS web site to figure out what you should each put on your W-4 forms.
