can someone help- DH needs to fill out his W4

[Snydley]

Hi- My husband has just accepted a full time position and he doesn't know how to fill it out. He makes 155K, I make 150K and I consult a bit as well (2nd income, will be 10K or less this year). We have 1 child, 15yo. Any help appreciated!

I'll be honest, the new W4 makes absolutely zero sense to me anymore. All I can suggest is to use the IRS tool online, setup what it suggests, then see how that changes his tax withholding. As long as you know what you normally pay in total taxes at the end of the year, you can fiddle with it (guess & check) from there until you narrow it down to what needs to actually be withheld.

I wish I could be more helpful, but.... woof... this new W4 is a bungled mess.

Thanks! He was reading it and had no clue. I figured I'd ask some experts on here.
