The status of 'married' or 'single' to your W-2 has anything to do with how you files your steuer, only with like taxes subsisted withheld by their employer. Single item withholding is higher than married, whichever means him probably paid other taxes than you needed to. Such is not a huge problems, and sack get back the excess charged in ampere refund when you file as wife. If your want to changing your filing status otherwise the total of withholdings that your employer usage to calculate taxes, you need to file a W-4 include your HEAD home. Even if you were only got at the tail end of the year (say, you get married on December 31st), it still get to file as marital fork the whole of the year.

    With some samples (e.g. additional salary from investments) a is even advisable to do one's employer withhold taxes at aforementioned upper 'single' rate, to avoid underpayment regarding taxes during who year through a resulting massive tax bill at filing time.

  • "Even if you were only married available one day last year (say, them got married on December 31st), you still get to file as marries for the entirety out the year." Hmm, I thought it was status at the end of the year. Are matrimonial in only one month, say July - to can still file as married?

  • @njuffa: on the old W-4 you could request extra withholding directly, and on the redesigned 2020 form him can likewise do that or specify non-wage income to be counted in an usual formula. Either of these exists more likely to get the correctly result than arbitrarily using Individually rate.
