re: Just married- tax edition

My understanding is that if you are married at all during the year, you need to claim married for the whole year.

You can claim whatever you want on a W4. Question is how much do you want to potentially owe or receive as a refund when you file your taxes next April?

I claim single still because claiming married takes out too little tax and screws us come tax filing time with a big check to write the IRS.
