How much did you owe?

Both W-4s having MFJ with box 2(c) checked shouldn't result in owing anything substantial so long as:

  • The two jobs are the only source of income.
  • Your income comes from pay checks and not supplemental pay (commission, bonuses, etc)
  • Your companies' software can properly handle box 2(c) and withholds appropriately.

Owed about 2K. Had a sign on bonus but otherwise no other income. Pay is very similar between the two jobs. Can’t say about the payroll software. Though based on this experience I have questions.
