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


Could you claim thirteen for your allowances on your W-4?

Yes. I could claim 13 allowances on my W-4 if I could convince my wife we should get busy and have 10 more kids. Then with a wife and 11 kids, I would be entitled to 13 allowances. She does not see it that way.

Can you claim your incarcerated child on your taxes?

In most cases, yes, you can still claim an incarcerated child as a dependent on your taxes if you provided more than half of their financial support for the year. However, it's recommended to consult with a tax professional or accountant to ensure you meet all the necessary criteria and requirements.


How long can you claim ten dependents with having any before you are penalized by the IRS?

If you mean how long can you claim them on the tax return (Form 1040) you file at the end of the year: You can do it until you get caught. Once you get caught, they will go back as far as they have records and charge you tax and penalties. There is no statute of limitations on tax fraud. If you mean on the Form W-4 that you give to your employer: There is a misunderstanding here. You do not claim dependents on your W-4. You claim withholding allowances. Withholding allowances are not the same as dependents. Most people think they are and so they end up massively overpaying their taxes and then getting big refunds at the end of the year. Most people, particularly if the job is their only real source of income, can claim far more withholding allowances than dependents and this is completely legitimate. Please use the following calculator from the IRS to get an estimate of how many withholding allowances you can claim: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96196,00.html Calculating the number of withholding allowances you can claim is not an exact science. You should aim to claim enough allowances so that you neither owe any money nor get any refund at the end of the year. You will not pay any underpayment penalty if you owe less than $1000 at the end of the year. The IRS will not bother you about the number of allowances you claim as long as your withholding turns out to be reasonably close to the amount of tax you owe. There can be a penalty (separate from the underpayment penalty) if you don't have a reasonable basis for the number of withholding allowances you chose. So use the calculator or fill out the worksheet that come with your W-4 to show how you arrived at the number. Note: The IRS used to require employers to send in W-4 forms that showed more than 10 withholding allowances. They stopped doing this several years ago.
