It sounds like "zero withholding allowances" is your problem. By default, your company withholds taxes based on what the taxes would be for just your salary. But your actual taxes are based on you and your wife's combined salaries, which pushes you into higher tax brackets. The W4 "extra withholding" is intended to let you increase the withholding to avoid underpayment.

So I suggest you take a look at your last Federal form, and find out the difference between your household's total withholding and what the federal tax tables says your combined salary would owe.. Then you and your wife each file a W4 that sets the extra withholding to half of the shortfall divided by the number of pay periods you have.

You don't have to worry about getting this exactly right: as long as your total withholding is at least 90% of your actual tax liability, there is no penalty.

I'd recommend shopping around. In my experience, Turbotax is one of the most expensive tax sites.

I am a great fan of FreeTaxUSA. It has only one tier for tax preparation, and it has handled my income from salary, investments, and various Federal tax credits with no problem. They also claim it handles income from unemployment, social security, crypto, and rental properties, but I can't speak to that.

Federal Taxes are completely free, including e-file. And if they support your state, they will prepare and e-file your state taxes at $15 per state.

During his initial interviews after the shooting, Perry demonstrated that Foster was not pointing the gun at him. Further, Perry is quoted as saying "I believe he was going to aim at me. I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me,". Video of his interview is here.

Perhaps you should actually read Sfcat's post before replying? Their point is that because of federal subsidies, what the consumer pays in France is a fraction of the actual cost to produce that energy. So how does a link showing consumer prices of power refute that?
