<prompt> Human: Okay, so I am aware this question has been answered time and time again, but at the moment I am so frustrated that I cant put two and two together. I make about 100k. My wife makes slightly more, but still under 120k. This year we both took no deductions on our pay. We have two kids under 18. We are filling married, jointly. We just got our taxes done and are being told we owe 6k. Can this be right?  <response>: How did you file your W-4s?My best guess is you both selected Married. But that designation best suits couples where partner makes all or most of the wages.Couples in your situation should select Married, but withhold at higher Single rate.You can also use the IRS withholding calculator to check what you should be claiming on your W-4s.
