"I checked married - 0 when I filled out my W-4 during my employment and I can see it in my paycheck"

Because you checked " O " it means no deductions in federal withheld tax. but if you checked " 1 " =exemption for yourself. it means there is a federal tax deductions. you got higher amount of paycheck if you check 0.

Excuse me, but what blocks on the W-4 are you referencing?

If you want MORE money withheld (get more back when you file) you put lower numbers in for your dependents. 0 means more withheld/more money back.

It is possible to tell the government do not take anything out and that you will PAY your taxes when you file but that is on line 7 "EXEMPT" and I don't think that happened here.

Yes, filing taxes is interesting.

I work a part time job (about 10 hours a week) and to make sure that that pay doesn't screw up my taxes I ask that an additional amount be deducted each pay period. That is on Line 6 if you care to do that.

Thats what i answered or filled up in my W4 form when i started working it means i want a deductions from my pay check for federal tax, i dont have any problems. every paycheck i received there is a federal tax deductions and state (NC) tax. i filled up 2 times because i worked first from agency after 3 months the company where i was assigned hire me as a regular employee then another w4 for the new company im working. and it is received by the IRS when my husband filed my taxes separately using taxslayer program. so far i dont see any problems. and it is explained to me first by the person who gave me the w4 form to be fill up. I dont answer anything if i dont understand i need further explainations if im not sure of my answer.

Did you file married with a high amount of deductions or is your income very low?

I filed married with 0- in line 1 first page, I can't remember the other stuff. My income is not low, Im working in call center of Insurance Company (inbound) but I just started working October 2008.

[I luv my chappara 0]

all the deductions of my federal tax last year, it will return back to me. bec i worked only 5 and half months. I did not meet the minimum income level requirement to pay federal tax for 2008. In my case, My husband filed my taxes as "married filing separate" so that my tax refund would be separate from his tax refund. my return has been accepted by the IRS now. I should receive my refunds in about two or three weeks because my husband filed my tax returns electronically.I think you fill up Married in your status because we file EAD together with our AOS as a k1 visa holder when we entered here.

But If you file "married filing jointly" then both of your incomes will be considered for tax liability and any refunds issued will be for a combined amount. you can choose which filing status you want to have because there is no legal requirement to file a joint return if you want to keep your income and refunds separate from your spouse.

It is expected for our first time we file our taxes we can experience problems sometimes...but dont worry....

thanks ate, I will review it, we did not submit it yet, we plan to submit it electronically.

We are filing married-joint yup , i included my husbands w-2 infos.

hi thanks for advice, Im thinking now to ask for another w-4 from my employer and filled out again, im not sure if it will worked, but I will try.

because I can't even remember the other lines now, we don't have dependents, and I'm sure i checked married -0 in the first page.

Why dont you hire someone to work on your tax. Less headache.

Hi does anybody have experienced like this..

I came here in USA via K1 visa, I got my EAD October 2008, I got a job also October 2008.

I just recently received my W-2, but I am confused, why is it I don't have federal tax withhold? only NC state income tax, medicare & social security.

I don't wanna end up paying my federal tax at the end because they are not withholding it from my paycheck.

I got approved on AOS Jan 23, and got my GC last Saturday.

Do you think, that's why I don't have federal tax because of my status? (not sure - needed info)

My income is biweekly and I earned more than minimum wage.

I checked married - 0 when I filled out my W-4 during my employment and I can see it in my paycheck

Pls help, I'm going crazy with this tax stuff

whaaahh im totally lost can somebody give me advise im not sure if i do it online ill do it accurately..i dont like to owe irs? and eventually since we are married however im the only one working and my husband doesnt..but i applied him as my dependent sorry

You should ask your employer why they are not taking fed taxes from your check once you fill out your W-4 employers are suppose to take out the proper deductions. Take another blank form home and have you and your husband fill it out correctly and submit new W-4 to employer.

Next year when you have worked all year you will have a big tax burden if they don't take out federal taxes.

Also as a comment to someone that does taxes married but filling seperately that only is a good thing if you have children maybe you could get a big portion of Earned Income Credit. But I would think in most cases you would get more deductions by filing married, and you could get an extra rebate stimul amount if you were married in 2008. Because your stimulus was based on your status filing in 2007 if that status changed in 2008 married or had a child you could get an additional portion. I am not a tax specialist, but work in Corp Management.

Please don't put your husband as a dependent He signed an affidavit of support to support you and that is a binding contract with the US government

it ends if you work 40 financial quarters worked which is equal to ten years or if you become a US citizen. You should file just married and then put your child or children as dependents.
