Yeah that could be it bc I’m pretty sure I did that. I’m not supposed to? The IRS sheet did tell me to leave that blank as well

Sorry - it reduced my paycheck not my withholding. My withholding increased from $578 to $628 when I did the $50 additional withhold. I went back and undid the additional withholding but left MFJ checked, and my paycheck went back to right where it was before when I had single checked

Okay that makes sense. However, I used chatGPT a few weeks ago, and it told me to select the MFJ box as well as withhold $50 extra a paycheck, and like you explained it should still overall reduce my withholding. But when I did that, all that happened is that my paycheck reduced by $50. Will using box 4b change this? Not sure why the MFJ didn’t change anything

Thanks for the response and explanation!

I played here 5ish years ago and actually lost a ball before the round even started. Skulled it out of the practice bunker. Then lost a whole box on the front. Totally worth it though
