Imagine if we had a relatively half way decent metro system

Thank you, this was the response I was looking for and clears that up :)

I’d say i have more than a fair grasp of PF. I probably should have done some math when my first pay check came in, but I’m mainly confused as to why so little was withheld and continues to be without a special situation warranting a request for additional withholding

Doing the taxes isn’t the problem, I’ve never been in a situation where the default withholding left me with such a high payment and I’m trying to see if others have seen something similar

Just under half is a bonus. Do they withhold less than normal for those?

I have a very basic situation, single, standard w2 income, some interest and dividends from savings/brokerage accounts. 1 & 2 were around 200 and 38. Default withholding seems very low

I'm pretty sure they include the standard deduction by default because that is the minimum deduction. Thankfully I itemize 2x that and was able to get it down to 5k. The default withholding definitely seems way off. I'm a very basic case, only other missing pieces are interest/dividends and that will only increase the bill

I'm not sure I had a place to do that, my withholding still seems wonky for this upcoming year... the old job over withheld payout and was a smaller % of wages

Itemized deductions got me down to 5k, still a bit concerned for next year. ~200 and 37

I did automatically import it but thank you for your calming response

I did

what does doing it "incorrectly" mean? Not requesting additional withholding?

I meant when I entered it in turbo tax it showed 10k owed. I did not go through the other steps

I don't think so. Do you put in an additional withholding amount? and how are you supposed to know what that should be until you get your first paycheck and assume something is wrong? single, no dependents. a very vanilla case

This was just based on entering my w-2 and I kind of panicked

This was in ADP. I've never filled it out before

What details would be helpful? I'm just wondering if this is normal for a company to not set a withholding in some normal vicinity by default (to owe 10k seems extreme)
