So I did a summer internship and claimed 2 on my W4 because I thought I was going to be filing independent this year but I am not. I claimed 1 on my state so that is fine. Am I in legal trouble?
I ran some numbers and they held 35% federal taxes (fed, fica, SS). This seems really high -- I thought if you claim 2 they take out very little in your paychecks? If I claimed 0 or 1 they would have taken more than 35%?
