not sure what's to elaborate.

You taxes are figured on ALL of income, ....until it's all put in, the numbers really don't mean a lot.

Withholding isn't always at the same %rate for every W-2...and even then, the extra income can push you into a higher tax bracket, AND, all your Std Deduction and Personal exemptions is applied to whichever W-2 is entered first...then nothing is left to reduce the taxable income on the second one...so all of it is taxed.

That's how it works, and has for many years.
