If there is something that the IRS routinely reports to employers that would be a giveaway, I don't know what it is. I don't plan on exceeding the IRS 401k contribution limit with the combined amount.
What about when you fill out your income tax withholding paperwork?

Yeah, I'm not going to tell them to withhold more due to the anticipated percentage increase from more income. So, I'll be paying more tax out of pocket.
You just have to be a little careful cause the IRS can ding you for under withholding even if you do settle the tab at tax time. I think they’ll usually give you a warning at least the first time though.

Good to know. Thank you! I'll try to withhold accordingly.

Just off the top of my head, I think if I withhold both at the single level, I should break about even.

I mean you could also withhold as if your spouse made a shitload of money. No one would give a crap.

For sure. But then I'd have to calculate an actual amount. Too much work!

yeah, its a PITA. I have no idea what really happened to mine. I think we switched HR systems and the designations changed or something. I did my taxes this year and Turbo tax was like, dude, you weren't even close. Nothing really changed at all and my withholding was way low. I've been following it along so far this year, but seeing how much they take out and then going through all of your deductions is a huge pain to determine how much. The US has a really stupid system. Why in the hell is it up to me to figure out all of their stupid tax laws and loopholes? Just tell me how much I owe and I'll pay it?

My withholding was messed up this year too after many years of +/- $100 so it might be something systemic

Weird. I've always been the same too. Normally owe a bit or got back a bit, but no big swings. Owed a crap ton this year and got fined.  :dunno: Probably Obama's fault

I think some employers were definitely thrown after the tax cuts.

Linkedin stalking soon to be coworkers. One lists his hobby jobs in addition to his regular jobs. These include geek pop culture podcasts and writing comic book reviews and commentary. HELL YESSSS!

Please tell me you are updating your LinkedIn to include both jobs.

I think you have to update linkedin and potentially facebook to a bullshit job.

maybe I don't understand LinkedIn, but what is your endgame there?  Won't both companies know you have 2 jobs?

Yeah, I wouldn't want that. I don't use Linkedin. I do have a fake account for stalking purposes.

I'm secretly hoping you'll get work invitations to some charity gala by both and have to stealthily switch tables throughout the night.  At the end of the night, you get caught and they're both mad but suddenly company CEO John M. Business comes over and says "This is the outside of the box thinking that our company needs.  If you're this good at doing two jobs, I want you full time" and offers you a million dollars to work for him exclusively.

Easy. Old job. New job pays more, is a more senior level position, and adds super valuable experience to my resume.

My original intention was to get some pos job that I wouldn't care at all about losing. But I ended up getting a pretty damn good job.

So you basically got a promotion and kept the old job and paycheck.  Amazing work.

Holy crap.  2 full time remote jobs. 

I can't imagine.  This is so rough ridin' brilliant.  I never would have thought to try this, which means I'm not a genius and chum1 obviously is.

how will you structure the resume when you update it? Just act like you ended your current job? what happens if someone calls for references?
