How many times in one year can you claim exempt on your paycheck?

I hear you can claim exempt for two months in a year without hurting you in the end... however, I can't say for sure that is a true fact.


Can a person claim exempt of federal taxes for only one paycheck?

If you earn income or make money, you are required to pay federal taxes. It does not matter how many paychecks you receive.


Do you get more in your paycheck if you claim 0 or 1?

If you claim one (1) dependent (yourself) on your W4 form you will get more money in your paycheck, and less will be withheld as part of tax withholding. Some people end up having to pay money to the Government at tax time because not enough was withheld during the year. Those people sometimes choose to claim zero (0) dependents on their W4 so that more money will be withheld during the year and they will have less to pay at tax time.


How does someone claim on taxes that they donated to a charity?

To claim donations for tax exemptions, one must first check whether the charity has received their 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Once the receipt is received from the charity, one can claim it towards tax deduction.


How do you know whether to claim 0 1 or exempt for taxes?

If you claim 0 - you will be taxed the most. If you claim 1 (which is yourself) you will presumably be taxed the right amount and break even when tax time arrives. However, claiming exempt means that you are exempt from paying taxes and that would require you to be WELL below the poverty line, making little to no money at all. You would have to figure out what the amount of income is that allows one to be exempt, I don't know the figure. Many people suggest claiming 0 to be on the safe side and just get the money back from the government when you file taxes. Others say, claim 1 and don't allow the government to have a tax-free loan with your money! I would claim 1, see how much is withheld and look at a tax table to see what the amount of money is that should be withheld and determine if claiming 1 will get you there. If it won't, then you'll wind up owing and you don't want that, so then change it to 0 and you should be fine. As for exempt there are very few people who qualify for tax exempt status. Chances are, you're not one of them.
