Another thing for you to look at (aimed at married or with dependents) is if your witholding status is still at single, you should change that to Married and 1 or higher, and increase the percentage of your TSP, to the point where your takehome is still the same.
Is there anyway to figure out just how many exemptions/withholding's I should take? Mine was at 1 but after trying to figure it out I set it to 2. Figured if I was a little too short for a month I could just reset it back to what it was. The IRS calculator gave me messed up answers. No matter what I put I always seemed to owe money to them... So anyone here have any guidelines on how many exemptions to take?
My understanding is 2: 1 for myself and 1 because no one can claim me as a dependent. Is this right or has government legal jargon confused me yet again?
