Question about needing to pay more than usual towards taxes : personalfinance

Hi there,

I filed my taxes final week and seen that I needed to pay a big quantity in comparison with earlier jobs. I needed to pay roughly 3k in complete apart from what was already taken out by my employer. That is very excessive and I feel I perceive that my firm shouldn’t be taking sufficient away via out the 12 months and thats why I am paying a lot throughout tax season. Now my query is:

am I understanding that correctly? or is there something that I’m not understanding, or that could possibly be an indication to some monetary issues I must look in to?
Do I simply inform my employer that they should take extra out? or what can I accomplish that that I’m near 0 throughout tax season?

A bit extra info, I switched jobs since final tax season, and relocated, however I don’t personal a home or have the rest that will have prompted my taxes to vary. I am only a bit anxious since I’ve by no means needed to pay a lot in tax season earlier than.

Thanks, I respect any assist that may be supplied!
