<prompt> Human: Hi everyone, My new wife and I are both salaried and combined make 62,000 per year. We have no state income tax. I get a gross check of 1153.85 every two weeks before taxes we are salaried but paid every other week it used to be after all taxes and FICA and Medicare I had 947 every two weeksHowever. I opened my check today and say my net pay is 1,014.62! I was thrilled at first, but then realized that seemed too high. I was deducted: 71.54 for FICA normal 50.96 for federal withholding lower than normal16.73 for Medicare normalIs too little being withheld? Did I say something wrong on my taxes? I dont have my W4 in front of me, but Im getting nearly 6 from taxes that I wasnt getting before  <response>: You most likely selected the Married designation instead of the Married, but withhold at higher Single rate on your W-4. If both partners in a marriage work, then it is usually better to avoid the Married designation as that assumes that only partner works.
