Can someone help with this? I'm filing married filing separately. I need basic info like box 1 do this, box 2 do this... I suck at the tax jargon

I also have this on the money board but that place is slower to respond.

why are you making adjustments to your withholding?

I assume you are inputting your w-2 info. The w-2 should have all this info in boxes 1-6

There isn't even close to enough information in your post to even begin answering your question.

Go pay a CPA or other tax professional

I assume you've taken your allowances and if you want extra withheld or less than automatically computed, you enter this amounts here.

This is useful if you work a second job where you get 1099'd and you can have more withheld from the first job, to cover the tax bite of the 1099.

See if this helps

It appears that since the income is "community property" in some states, you have to expain who is claiming how much.



Suppose Husband earns 100K and Wife earns 20K


You MAY have Wife claim 50%..thus, she ADDS 40K to her W2 amount. Husband Subtracts 40K from his. Each pays on 60K of income.

Just use turbotax or something. Why are you putting yourself through this?
