Heads up the IRS has rolled out a new 2020 W-4 and done away with the allowances part.

There seems to be some sketchiness about this.....saying that the higher wage earner should complete the boxes but not the lower wage earner....

Complete Steps 3–4(b) on Form W-4 for only ONE of these jobs. Leave those steps blank for the other jobs. (Your withholding will
be most accurate if you complete Steps 3–4(b) on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job


Not sure If I was the higher wage earner that I would want to be taxed all the way while the lower wage earner does not (I don't care if I am married filing jointly). I'll have to ask the tax guy in a few weeks.

Doesn't make a lot of sense if only one partner is filling out the new form.....and the other is in the old allowances system either.
