Question about Income Tax.

I never changed what I was claiming on my inclome tax after we got married. I am still claiming Single Zero and they take a ton of money out of pay. After getting our taxes done, our accountant advised me to change my statis.

My question is should I change it to married Zero or One? I don't want to end up paying next year either.

TIA
Danielle

DH and I both claim 0 because we like to get a large check once a year. It means we get less in our checks throughout the year, but it was well worth it when we heard what we are getting back this year. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Change it to married, zero. I know everyone likes getting the big tax refund but from a financial standpoint, it's a bad financial move because you are basically overpaying your taxes. It's like loaning Uncle Sam money for a year without any interest.

I claim single 3 and DH claims single 1 (i think). We still got a very large refund and we didn't even own our house the entire year. I think I may change to married 3. I don't like the large check at the end. I'd rather invest it at my own discretion.
