We’ve never adjusted withholdings

I made about double what she made last year.

It says we got the 4k tax credit. I just don’t know with the thousands of deductions we had it didn’t move the needle $1

that's reduces your overall tax.

The standard deduction (or thousands in deductions) reduces your taxable income.

these are two different things.

this doesn't give any more information than you already have given. you could be making 40k and she could be making 20k or you are making 500k and she's making 250k.

Go look at the tax summary on your return and it should show comparisons to the last 3 years. Did any of the figures change dramatically more than the year(s) prior?

But did your total income increase from the previous year?

My son called with the same situation. He was surprised that his income had bumped up as much as it did.

I don't think tax rates changed.

update- my wife's work said she's at Single with 1 allowance (we are married with 2 kids and i make more)

23 vs 22

combined total was 18k more.


also, my 12d box for 401k was 3k more in 23


for simple math, lets say i made 130k and her 65k. Its fairly accurate
