My wife recently left her job where she made around $35,000 yearly and now is going to be making somewhere around $18,000 yearly on her new job. We have filed seperately for the last 6 years because I make a cosiderable amount more than her and although I have had to pay in some, she has always gotten back around $3,000 and that is claiming my 15 yr. old son. Now she is claiming married with NO dependants (just as she had done at her previous higher paying job). On her last check she grossed $589. and they only held out $25.62 federal, $36.55 Social Sec., and of course $14.66 state. My question is....does the federal amount sound correct? It seemed quite low to me, and my fear is her return at the end of the year being drastically lower than normal. Please answer and feel free to provide as much detail or info as you wish.
