i think this is the right thread? if not, you can just tell me to gently caress off or whatever. in any case, got a bit of a situation here. i recently took on a second, salaried job. i just started the new one yesterday and need to fill out a new w4. question two states i should complete the step if i have two jobs or am married filing jointly. i am the former only, and am filing as single. however, i do not want my new employer to know i am working two jobs. how should i correctly fill this form out so that my jobs do not know about one another? given i am not married filing jointly, if i chose any of the three options for that question will tip off the employer. and i just can't have that happen. how do i make this work? is it possible?

so to be perfectly clear, check BOTH 2a and fill out 4c. i can't simply just fill in 4c, correct? sorry for this silly question. i just need to make absolutely sure of this. and i don't want to commit perjury obviously, so. e: ohhhhhh, i think i'm confused because the online form they sent me has a checkbox, whereas the real form does not. i think that means i can bypass the box on their online form? yea, i was able to preview it and it's all fine. thank you for your help! abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Aug 17, 2022 |

goal: to see if i need an accountant. if so, how to find the best one. context: i am not an accountant. i am not a business owner. i do not have a stock portfolio outside of how my 403(b) is invested. my wife and i do not have a kid. i am not a homeowner. i do not believe i am a complicated taxpayer in the grand scheme of things. moreover, i've used an accountant since 2016 and it seems to have worked out well. however, in the summer of 2022 i moved to a new state and got a second job. in december 2022, i got married. in april 2023, my wife quit her job and decided to start working again only a month ago. so things have changed, and i just want to reevaluate. two questions: a) should i be looking for an accountant in my new state? for context, my two, full-time, remote jobs are in nyc and ca, but i live in az. my current accountant is in nyc. they charge $600 to handle my taxes each year. i like them and they have all of my records, but am willing to move if this relationship no longer makes financial sense for me. b) should i file separately or should we file jointly? i've seen differing advice here. in all, i make ~$274k/yr, whereas she was making $90k/yr before she left in april 2023. now, she's basically just doing a side-gig at $35/hr. any help is greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!
