How much additional do yo request to be taken out of your check, weekly, towards federal, so you don’t owe when it’s tax time?

I’m currently have mine set as married with 1 dependent.

Everyone’s tax situation is different. Having said that when I had kids I could claim I never paid. I always got a return.

Once my kids could no longer be claimed I started owing. I now claim married with zero and take an additional $40 a week out for federal I pretty much breakeven.

I do single, 2. My wife and I file jointly. We have two dependent children. No additional taken out. I max out my 401k, but it's traditional and not Roth so that helps tax time (which is the point).
 
I did not add because it doesn't affect my tax situation, but I also max out a Roth IRA and we contribute as much as we can to my wife's Roth 401k.
I tried to put just enough in my 4o1k to keep me out of the next tax bracket.
My wife does not make a lot of money but they did not take the proper amount of taxes out.

But I'm sure glad for that ROTH money.
