how much do you make and how much did you end up owing in taxes this year?

my total income this year was $120-130k but I owe almost $900 in taxes…

I highly doubt this. $900 in owed tax is absurdly small based on that income. Or, are you saying you just didn't withhold enough? Also, owing money on tax day is a good thing vs. getting a refund...

Is your question about what is your total tax liability for the year, or how much was underwitheld and thus due by 4/15? There is a difference. If the later, income is irrelevant because anyone can play around with the withholdings and make them withhold less or more than they want.

My withholding hasn't been right since the tax law changes back in 2018.

My husband makes 120k and I made 100k and we owed 3000. Our withholding wasn't right since getting married and starting to make more money.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.
