Just out of curiosity since the IRS withholding calculator has been down since LAST MONDAY. Argh.

When you had your first kid, did you change your paycheck withholdings? And what was your income situation in terms of 50/50, 75/25 (one spouse bringing in more than the other, etc.).

We both work, but I make 75% of our household income and DH makes 25%. In our case, I'm not sure it will help us to adjust withholding, but I hope it will, because we're going to need every penny we can get once we start sending LO to daycare.

As far as the child care credit goes, we can only claim like $600 on next year's return according to the worksheet, so that won't really play into our decision.

Hoping the calculator goes up soon so I can figure this out and get it taken care of!!
