    Triple check your tax forms when you land a new job. I got my dream job but realized after the first tax year that they’d been deducting essentially no taxes so I had a very hefty tax bill that year. 😪

      also if you’re married and spouse goes back to work, make sure you get the withholdings correct. otherwise it’s a hefty chunk you’ll owe April 15th

      I’ve had the opposite - they marked me down as having 2 jobs (originally started as a part timer) so I was paying way more than I needed to. Only noticed when my refund went over a grand.
