Because I got married and bought a house during the last part of the year. This is the first time we are filing together and it sucks. we have to pay almost $700 to NYS and the IRS. Why should we get penalized for getting married....It is just so not fair....
Just my 2 cents

You can make your withholding status what ever you want. The only time that your status matters to the IRS is when you send in your tax return.
You could also file Married 0 with and additional $$ amount withheld to accompolish the same thing as Single 0. You dont want Uncle Sam to hold on to too much of your money all year.
That`s what I`ve always needed to do .. file single with extra $$ taken out to avoid owing, and until we got the house, I always owed on state. :( For some reason, though, I was thinking maybe there was a 'married, single' that I was supposed to have switched to ... don`t mind me .. it`s been a long few weeks lately!! :)
My DH neglected to mention that he did not file 97, 98 or 99. He did file last year so when we filed jointly this year I assumed no prob. WRONG!!! Uncle Sam wants his paperwork. We are due a 4 thousand dollar refund and I have no idea when we will recive it. DH cant find all the paperwork for the back taxes. Why do I have to get penalized by my husband?????? And the kicker is when he talked to the IRS according to there records thus far he doent even owe them money for any of the missed years! So what are they breaking my chops for??If I didnt love him I tell ya.... Hopefully we will get this mess sorted out soon. We were going to use it as downpayment for a new mini van. Oh well!!!
