What is the purpose of a W 4 form what information do you include on it?
Employees fill out a W-4 form to let employers know how much tax to withhold from their paycheck based on filing status, dependents, anticipated tax credits and deductions, etc. If you don't fill it out correctly, you may end up owing taxes when you file your return.
What should I be claiming on my w4?
The more allowances you claim on your Form W-4, the less income tax will be withheld from each paycheck. The number of allowances you should claim varies. It is based on a number of factors, such as marital status, job status, earned wages, filing status, and child or dependent care expenses.
Do I claim 0 or 1 on my w4?
If you put "0" then more will be withheld from your pay for taxes than if you put "1"–so that is correct. The more "allowances" you claim on your W-4 the more you get in your take-home pay. Just do not have so little withheld that you owe at tax time.
