w2/exemption question

Jun 27, 2008 1 Replies

Here is our income:



gross adj gross ------ --------- My primary job ~100k ~85k Wife's job ~ 30k ~15k My secondary job ~ 12k ~12k



We file jointly. No kids. We live in California. We have about ~20k in deductions. I would prefer to pay in a little each year.



Is it 2 across the board? Or, 2 for my primary job and 0 for the rest? Or 2 for me and my wife, and 0 for my secondary? Other?



Thanks, B
