Filling out your W-4 with your company each year is directly related to the amount of taxes you may owe at the end of each fiscal year. It is wise to include all your dependents on your form, and have any extra money withheld that you think you will need to avoid owing taxes at the end of the year. This way, you can ensure a generous tax return at the end of the year, in most cases. Fill out the columns asking for your number of dependents. If you are single, you can count yourself as one exemption, which you are entitled to. Keep your W-4 certificate current with your situation, and make changes when you need to. If you don’t include your dependents, you will pay more for taxes than you need to. In most states, a child can be claimed as a dependent until he or she reaches the age of eighteen. Under certain conditions, you may also be eligible to claim certain assets for upkeep as a dependent, reducing the amount you will owe.
If you need help, ask your human resource department for help and advice on how to properly fill out your W-4 form in order to have the proper amount withheld from each paycheck. Making sure you’ve had enough money taken out of each paycheck throughout the year will ensure a good tax return, in most cases. Make sure your W-4 is correct, and that you have not taken out too many dependents, or this will cause you to owe money at the end of the fiscal year. Anything that causes too little money to be removed from your paycheck will result in you owing at the end of the year. This should be avoided. Many people choose to skimp on their taxes throughout the year in order to preserve cash flow, and sometimes this is needed, but all of the required tax money will be owed at the end of the year. If it is not paid, it will eventually have to be paid to the IRS with penalties and interest, which, for most individuals, is not worth the extra money owed.

How much should you withold on your w4?
if you claim zero on your w4, they will take the most taxes out of you. If you have dependents and you add them on when you do your income taxes, you will get that money back. even if it is just you, you should claim zero instead of one, then at income tax time you will not have to pay in, you should get back what you overpaid instead. The more dependents you put on your w4, the less taxes they will take out of your check, but at income tax time, if they did not take out enough you will have to pay in. And like me, if you like a big, big check all at once you want to claim zero, its like a way of saving money, and you get the money back at income tax time to do something big with.
