How I claim more exemptions in my W4 without lying?
Answer:
The W-4 is simply your instructions to your employer regarding your withheld tax. You can increase your withholding by claiming fewer exemptions and decrease your withholding by claiming additional exemptions.
If you have been receiving a large tax refund and would like to receive some of the money in your regular checks instead of waiting until tax time there is only one way to accomplish that. File a new W-4 with your employer claiming additional exemptions. The "exemptions" on a W-4 have don't relate only to "dependents" when you file a tax return. A single individual with a large home mortgage interest deduction or large charitable contributions may claim married with several exemptions in order to reduce the amounts withheld.
Claiming 10 exemptions is legal but there would not be any federal withholding at all until your income was about $30,000 annually. That may leave you owing tax at year end. While legal it sounds excessive.
The IRS worksheet for form W-4 is terrible. You almost need to be a tax preparer to plow through it. If someone helped you with your taxes last year, ask them to assist you with how many additional exemptions you should claim.
well you could do that but you will have to pay it back at tax time
You can claim up to 7 exemptions. Doesn't matter if you have them or not. You'll have to pay an * load of taxes though.
Do you have 10 children, if not you can not claim them.
no you can say that lol called tax farad u want to go to jail? u calm one at the Begin best was is to have kids.. real ones..
During the year you may claim up to ten but when you file your tax form you must fill in the real figure. By doing this you'll get more money during the year but will have to pay more when you file. Be carefull doing this.
My friend who is single claims I think 4 or 5 exemptions. He just wants less money to be taken out of his paycheck because he gets so much money back from the IRS for other deductions. I do not see it as a problem though I would be careful because if the number of exemptions goes up significantly, you may end up owing money to the government come tax time. Also you don't want to change your exemptions too greatly or the IRS may wonder why your exemptions went up so much triggering an audit. I recommend that you increase the number of exemptions by 2 every year and see what happens.
