<prompt> Human: As the title says, got married September 21st of this year. Will we be able to file our taxes jointly or will we have to wait a year?  <response>: Now one thing to keep in mind is that you will quite possibly end up owing money this year if you routinely got refunds in the past. Reason being, your withholdings only look at your individual jobs and your total burden looks at your combined incomes. If youve been withholding as a single the whole time you should be fine. I recommend popping over to the IRS website and plugging in your information to the withholding calculator just to confirm and before you make any changes to your W4.
