Enter 0 or 1 on a W-4 form to have more money withheld?

The fewer exemptions you claim on your W-4, the more income tax will be withheld from your pay. Therefore, 0 exemptions will cause more withholding the 1 exemption.


I was wondering if I should file a 1 or a zero for my taxes I am unsure of which to file this is for what would be taken out of my paycheck each time from work.?

Most people claim no exemptions for their primary job and 1 for any other jobs. You can look up IRS form 919 for a worksheet to figure it out mathematically.


Should you choose 0 or 1 for exemptions on your income tax forms?

Form W-4 is Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. You enter the number of your exemptions on Form W-4. The Personal Allowances Worksheet guides you to take an accurate number of exemptions. If you (and/or your spouse) are working at more than one job, you might claim 0 allowances to make sure enough tax is withheld on your earnings. Also, if you have a large amount of nonwage income (interest, dividends, etc.), either claim 0 exemptions or arrange to make estimated tax payments using Form 1040-ES (Estimated Tax for Individuals). For more information, go online to print Publication 505 (Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax) at www.irs.gov.


If you itemize can you claim a personal exemption?

Yes but to itemize you will have use the schedule A of the 1040 income tax return and that does NOT have any affect on your exemptions that are entered on the 1040 federal income tax return page 1.


If you claim 1 on your taxes does that mean just yourself or one other person?

That depends on which form you are claiming it on. If you are talking about Form 1040, that means just yourself. If you are not eligible to claim yourself, then you are not eligible to claim anyone else either. If you are talking about Form W-4 (the withholding form that you give to your employer), stop and read the form more carefully. It does NOT ask you to fill in the number of people (dependents) you are claiming. It asks you to fill in the number of withholding allowances you are claiming. Most people have way too much tax taken out of their paychecks because they mistakenly believe that the number of withholding allowances they claim on their W-4 should be the same as the number of exemptions they claim on their 1040. Most people should claim MORE withholding allowances. To calculate the number of withholding allowances you should claim, either use the worksheet in the Form W-4 instructions or use the IRS withholding calculator here: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96196,00.html

Can you file bankruptcy in any state but use exemptions from residential state?

No. You generally file in the state where you lived for most of the last 180 days. Exemptions are from that state unless you moved from another state within the last 2-1/2 years and bought land in your new state, in which case you may be limited to your old state's exemptions. (This is to catch people who move to states with unlimited homestead exemptions, such as Texas or Florida.)
