How many should you claim on your income taxes?
You should claim all the exemptions to which you're entitled. Unless you're claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, you're entitled to a personal exemption. If you're married, your spouse also claims a personal exemption. Claim one exemption for each dependent, if any. The number of exemptions is one of the items on your return that reduces the amount of your adjusted gross income (AGI).Go to www.irs.gov/formspubs to view/print Publication 501 (Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information).
When should you itemize instead of claiming the standard deduction?
Once you suck a dick then you claim for a standard deduction
Is a claimed dependent an exemption or a deduction?
Both. A taxpayer (the person who can claim the dependent) claims exemptions for themselves and their dependents. Each exemption qualifies them for a deduction. The amount changes each year ($3,700 per exemption for 2011) and a person will multiply the number of exemptions on Form 1040 line 6 by the amount for their total deduction on Form 1040 line 42. The deduction for exemptions reduces their taxable income.

How do you claim exemptions with your withholding certificate on your tax return?
Form W-4 is Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. It's an IRS form that you fill out for your employer. Employers keep completed W-4 form with their employment tax records.Often the number of exemptions that you claim on Form W-4 won't be the same as on your tax return. The exemptions on Form W-4 are designed to help your employer deduct the correct withholding amounts from your earnings.Also, Form W-4 only offers two filing statuses (Single, Married Filing Jointly). But your federal tax return has five filing statuses: Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, Head of Household, Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child.In filling out your return, you choose your exemptions according to specified situations (a choice of five filing statuses, personal/dependent exemptions). So you don't match the number of exemptions on your tax return with the number on Form W-4.For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 501 (Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information).
What is an example of deduction in writing?
Just like in math, when you write, you can "deduce." Using the more familiar definition from those old math classes, it means to take away. This is also true in your writing. The idea is to come to a conclusion by removing all other otpions, like a process of elimination. You start with a large general idea and move to the exact detail that you want to prove by deducing. The standard deduction is a dollar amount that reduces the amount of income on which you are taxed. You cannot take the standard deduction if you claim itemized deductions. In some cases, your standard deduction can consist of two parts, the basic standard deduction and additional standard deduction amount, for age, or blindness, or both. In general, the basic standard deduction is adjusted each year for inflation and varies according to your filing status. The basic standard deduction of an individual who can be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return is the greater of: # An amount specified by law, or # The individual's earned income plus a specified amount (but the total cannot be more than the basic standard deduction for his or her filing status).
