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).
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
