<prompt> Human: The entire year both my wife and I claimed 0 on our income taxes W4 so the government could just take out as much as possible. I went to go file and they are saying I owe money vs getting a refund. Is this my fault or the company I work for because they didnt with hold enough? Side notes, if we were single we would be getting 1700 each back but because we are married then its -2k because we get pushed into the next bracket Im assuming at 73k. Any help is really appreciated.Edit 1: If we filed for divorce would that change it so we could file EZ? Been doing hardcore research and this is bad for married, no kids, no house.  <response>: You say you both claimed 0, but did you withhold at the married or single rate? Married assumes only one of you works, so it will not withhold enough.
