Thanks guys.... I just got off the phone with him and mentioned about the withholdings. Its amazing, I think for the first time we're both 100% on board that something has to change with the finances. Cause he'll come to me and ask me for a pair of shoes for $50 and I tell him we can't afford it, but then I go to a Pampered Chef party and spend $50... so I told him I recognize I have no accountability. But I mentioned the W4 like you suggested and he actually sounds willing to do it... just said he's worried about them not taking enough out in taxes and then having to owe at the end of the year.
How do we figure out what the right withholding amount is? I claim 2 and make around $40K, he claims 0 and makes $33K taxable income (but he gets like $20K additional in untaxed benefits from the military)... and we have a family of 6 now.
