What else can I help you with?
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
What happens if you claim zero allowances on the W 4 form?
If you claim zero allowances on the W-4 form, your employer will withhold the maximum amount of federal income tax from your paycheck. This often results in a larger tax refund when you file your tax return, as more money has been withheld throughout the year. However, claiming zero may also lead to less take-home pay each pay period. It’s important to consider your overall tax situation to determine the best number of allowances to claim.
What allowance should you enter on your w-4?
When filling out your W-4 form, the number of allowances you claim depends on your personal situation, including your marital status, number of dependents, and whether you have other income or deductions. Generally, the more allowances you claim, the less tax will be withheld from your paycheck, while claiming fewer allowances will result in more tax being withheld. It's important to use the IRS guidelines or the W-4 worksheet to determine the correct number of allowances for your specific circumstances to avoid owing taxes or receiving a large refund at year-end.
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.
