Reply to comment by nbny90 in FreeTaxUSA Says I Owe $3K in federal taxes. I NEVER owe & always get a refund. Please HELP! by nbny90

Oh yeah I brain farted my bad. Yeah with the two kids you owe ~$3300 excluding any retirement contribution deductions or any other misc. credits. It looks like you both selected “Married filing jointly” on your W4 without doing Step 2/work on Page 3.

We both have married filing jointly.

I do not claim any dependents on my W4 and everything else looks like it's zero.. She claims 1 dependent on her W4 and everything else is 0

But did you indicate you both work on each of the other’s W4? If not each of your incomes is being treated as the sole income for two people when in reality there are two incomes.
