I made way less than you and my employer withheld $8k in taxes last year for federal income tax.

I would compare this year's taxes with your taxes from last year to figure out the difference if you made the same the past two years.

I just looked at that. Last year they withheld $11,500 in federal taxes.

This year only $5,988 was withheld and I don't know why!

Your w4 was switched to the married withholding rate.

And I'm not supposed to change it back to single once it's in this rate, correct?

No, you can set it to single. Or you can check box 2c, same thing at your income level.

Checking box 2C withholds more federal taxes?
