<prompt> Human: I got married back at the end of March and Ive been slowing changingupdating everything to reflect my newly married status. I am lost, however, when it comes to what I need to do with regards to updating my state I live in Maryland and federal tax forms. At least on the W4 there are multiple options for a married person and I do not know which one to choose. Help?  <response>: If you and your spouse both have full-time jobs, you want to indicate that you are married, but to withhold at the higher single rate.Leaving it as single accomplishes the same thing, but isnt technically what your situation is. Edit: alternatively, you can do the IRS withholding calculator, but the usual progression is: collect a bunch of information; figure out how to enter that, including estimating a lot of things that make it so you are basically doing your taxes for the year in advance; tell the calculator that you want to have income withheld at the married rate; and watch it come back with something like take 9 allowances, or take 0 allowances but an extra 180 per paycheck. At this point youll be back here, asking what you did wrong.Or, you can just say withhold at the higher single rate, and, if you dont have dependents or a lot of deductions, it should work out fine, though you can fine-tune between 0 and 2 allowances. Each reduction by 1 in W4 allowances increases your taxes withheld by about 1000year, or 40paycheck.
