Mine are high because I am not married and have no dependents. I asked my tax guy the year I opened if there was anything I could do to make my quarterly payments smaller and he said “pop out a few kids”.

My cousin who makes almost identical to what I make in a year but has a lot less by way of expenses and also a much smaller t/s% pays in $1000 less a quarter than me. Why? She’s married with a husband getting the max taken out of his checks and has two children.
