<prompt> Human: I dont ever come here so excuse my ignorance but I was hoping someone can just help educate me on my situation. I started a new job in March and just filled out my 2015 return on TurboTax. I make 20hr and work around 40 hours a week.My SS tax and Medicare tax were both withheld, as were state local income taxes. I did file for unemployed for about a month 1680 worth, so I knew I would be getting taxed on that. However, the total money I owe the IRS is over 3,000 my wages for the year were around 32,000 on my W-2.I assume this is all correct, I just want to know why my Federal income tax was withheld. Did I make a mistake on my W-4? Owing the government over 3,000 is not that fun. Thank you in advance for your help!Note: I did see this post and the exact same thing seemed to happen. Does that mean I should be contacting my employer? Ironically, I start a new job on Monday so if it was a W-2 issue I guess theres no point.  <response>: Ironically, I start a new job on Monday 1. Provide a complete and correct Form W-4 link to the IRS Withholding Calculator in the bot.2. Look at every pay stub.
