Dear Editor:
I have been writing payroll checks for the past 27 years every week.
Recently as I was writing them I noticed again the difference between the married person and the single person as far as the federal withholding taxes are paid.
As an example a married person claiming 0 dependents that makes $500 a week pays $37 in weekly federal withholding taxes and a single person pays $62. I know as an employer I have to match and even pay more to the federal tax system on each employee.
To me there seems to be something wrong here. I guess an employer that employs only married people would get a pretty big break on their federal taxes. I simply don't know.
In contrast the state taxes here in Missouri are the same for everyone.
I hope one or more of your readers can explain this contrast in the taxes.
