On a W-9 form for income tax purposes, if a person is single with no dependents, they are allowed to claim one person (themselves) only. Some people prefer to have the government withhold a little extra from their paychecks so that they do not end up paying in at the end of the year.

How many dependents do i claim on my w2 to get the least amount of money held out of my check?

If you claim too many dependents you'll have to pay more in tax next year. If you are a very young person you probably can't claim to have five kids. If you are older, you could claim five or six. They wouldn't take out very much, but next year you'd have to come up with a lot of money to make up for what they didn't deduct.


How many dependents can you claim on a federal income tax return?

2 You can claim more than 2, it depends how many actual dependents you have living in the household. The term "dependent" means: * A qualifying child, or * A qualifying relative. You can claim an exemption for a qualifying child or qualifying relative only if these three tests are met. # Dependent taxpayer test. # Joint return test. # Citizen or resident test.


How many qualifying dependents can you file for?

As many as qualify...qualification requires having an ID number for them, and that no one else, including themselves, is claiming them. Obviously, the more you claim the more suspect your return becomes. Clearly, the desire to claim dependents and get the benefit which isn't correct, is not some new or novel idea. The system your sealing with is fairly adept at finding this fraud, and not particualrly forgiving of it.


Can a person claim three dependents on W-4 and only two when filing taxes?

Yes this absolutely allowed and actually proper..and the way the calculation of the W-4 is supposed to be done. Many people, for many reasons, have financial situations where the withholding for the number of dependents they will have a right to claim results in much more tax being estimated than is needed....they get a large refund. The larger number on the W-4 can prevent this.
