You should find out what the withholding requirements are. Generally, if you withhold as much as you owed the previous year, you're not liable for a penalty.

Once you know how much you need to pay in withheld taxes to avoid a penalty, ask your payroll office to calculate for you how many exemptions are needed to result in withholding the amount that you need.
