dang, i didnt understand that. this year my wife and i have to pay $1200 according to turbo tax. we didnt "send" it off yet so we going to an accountant to see if they can help us out a little with it.

i dont understand why we have to pay, we claimed married and 0 all year long. any ideas?

In general, you need more deductions. For 2008, you need to have $100 more taxes withheld per month. You can either change your withholdings to single and 0 or just fill out the form to withhold an additional $100 per month, or $50 for each of you - $25 per pay period.
