Should I wait for my first paycheck for my new position and then uodate my W-4 to how you showed? We're also expecting baby #2 before the end of the year..

She doesn’t know how much she will earn, so what should she as well as other teachers fill out on the W-4 form filing jointly with their spouse if they don’t know how many hours they will work for the temporary job? I admit it’s just too confusing.

    how did you get the number 0.92935? I am an S corp that pays myself $55k gross income as W2 and i want to do a profit sharing of 25% nonelective contribution to my solo401k. 25% is $13750 and I assume this will be my S corp deduction in total. However, the SE tax portion of the $13750 can not go to the 401k account. I am trying to figure out what is the SE tax on the $13750. I am using this 1040 FORM schedule SE form you have in your video to calculate this but line 12 Self-employment tax is coming out to be $529.22 which isn't quite $13750 - ($13750*.9235). there lies my confusion.

    • @TravisSickle
