My wife and I have similar salaries and file jointly, but are being federally taxed at different rates on each bi-weekly paycheck. She makes less than I do, and has more taken out in federal taxes. What may be going on here?
Me:
Gross: 3715.95
After Pre-tax Deductions: 2892.11 (dental, vision, medical, life, disability, 403b)
Federal Taxes Withheld: 342.21
Rate: 11.8%
Spouse:
Gross: 3458.09
After Pre-tax Deductions: 2472.78 (dental, medical, dues, 403b)
Federal Taxes Withheld: 437.84
Rate: 17.8%
Any ideas?
Thanks.
