W4 tax form | w-4 tax form. How to fill out w4 tax form . Step by step, walk-through of w4.

If you want to just be single and 0 where do you put the zero?

What about w4s ?

I'm filling out mine for the first time. My question is, if i have two kids under the required age, would I put the same number for both ?

Hello Katie, I have been trying to find this out on the internet. I apologize if I missed it from the video, I work two w-4 jobs. One job full-time 40 hours a week and another job part-time. For Step 4-part C of withholding extra elections, do I choose the amount on both w-4 forms/both employers? Or do I just need to choose one of my employers w-4 and withholding more? The only information I could find said to withhold extra on the higher paying job - estimated by the table on my higher paying job and don't withhold extra on my lower paying job. Is this correct?

Thank you so much

Preciate this even at my big age! 🫶🏽

Im sooo lost

Just got my first job and was struggling really hard to fill this out, thank you so much :')
I wish school or my parents taught me about this

My question is, will adding dependents and no other withholdings make it so that I will owe that money back when I file for taxes? I am so scared of adding dependents because of that

thank you

Should I check box 2c if I have 2 job or MFJ? Would box 2c take out more taxes?

Hi there Katie! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this video. You were clear, direct, thorough, and fast.
I was wondering if self employment is to be included on the form? My husband and I live in WI, he has self employment, I have 2 jobs plus 1 self employment position.

My ex-employer had me fill out a W4 when I started in Oct ‘22 but the following Jan ‘23 I received a 1099. Thus making me a ‘freelance’ hire. I had to pay all the taxes for Nov-Dec ‘22. Was that even remotely legal?

What happens if you do not fill out any of the optional forms. I used to put a 2 in the old line H in the old format.

Thank you

I am in the process of starting my first job. I wanted to ask questions about the California DE 4 Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate...

1. Where it says Filing status: Single or Married (with two or more incomes), is the two or more incomes part referring only to married people, or does it also mean single people with two or more incomes? Basically, I am asking if I am allowed to click that option if I am single with only one income.

2. The checklist system from my work that I am using to submit all my documents has the number 0 automatically filled in 1a. 1b. and 1c. Do I keep it that way or should I insert different numbers?
Thank you! I am very new and confused about this whole allowance thing.

3. This is a another question I had since I checked myself as Single on the W-4 form: Can my filing status be Single and Dependent at the same time? Because I am a full time student, under 24, graduating in May 2024 and I am a dependent under my parents but I am also getting a job, so would that make my filing status Single and Dependent, just Dependent, or just Single?

Thank you so much. You gave me the best detailed explanation vs. others I went to. You need to be teaching this to kids (and grown kids like myself).

You made this way easier than everyone else, you are awesome. Are you from Wisconsin ?

Thank you so much. You saved me. I got so confused. I didn't think I had to fill out this form again.

I know it's not the best saving strategy but we spend to much so I want to get more back at the end of the year. I know I should try and break even with the irs and put the rest in some account that pays me more over the year. But we always seem to find a good reason to spend the money. So I'm wanting the government to take way more out. So I can pay taxes a head and get a nice tax deposit during tax season. Ya don't come for me it work for my life style.

Does 4C go to the federal tax income

What should if I just need to fill out just section 4 to have more tax taken out

So I’ve never noticed on my paystabs my fed tax income was never taken. It is just empty spot , not even 0. So I ended up owing money this year,over $1350. That made me to start doing my research on taxes. Just a couple years ago I moved from Europe to US, and I have no clue what is about and how it’s done. So what should I do on form w4 to my fed tax income being taken finally? I’d really appreciate if someone replies

What if you 20 year old son lives at home goes to school part time and works part time, can you claim them as a dependent

Hello Katie , if I put $10,000 on 4(a) column, what will happen? My HR representative told me it was a good idea, everything else is at $0 by the way

I have a question I’m filling mine at the moment . The question “Do you claim exemption from federal income tax withholding?” What does this mean ? I’m filling single with 0 dependents

Thanks for posting, it helped me fill mine out last year, the best explanation I have found so far. Does this apply to 2023 as well?

Hi. If i fill this form for youth employment program, does IRS will send me a tax return mail?

Hello, Katie,
In 2023 I add my mom and dad as a dependent $500 for each totally $1000.
I have a doubt, is this better to add the dependent on w-4 or on w-2 to have more refund taxes? Please give me advise, I talked with one accountant, he said is good 9n w-2 but other said put them on w-2. Now I'm confused what to do? Please kindly help me in this.
Thanks a lot.

I just don't do these enough to remember/know what to do

Which section would you add an extra withholding? After filing my taxes i was told that i wasn’t withholding as much as i should which is one of the reason we ended up owing. I file married jointly and always claimed 0 with 3 kids. Any help is appreciated

Hello I need help with that document, specially in step 4: C

If I have 2 children how much do I claim??

Does it automatically take Federal out i am having trouble with that is there a part you fill out

I make a small income aside from my regular 9-5 through my business if e-commerce sales on eBay and PayPal. Should I withhold taxes on this additional income using box 4(a) or 4(c)? I saw that side gig income should not be put in 4(a) but I’m sure this classified as “side gig”. Thanks in advance for your help.

And the instructions are to send it to your employer - does that mean only payroll at your employer receives the information for additional deductions, and the IRS is not itself responsible?

Hello and wonderful content! I seem to see many cases where the taxpayer has multiple jobs and they end up owing when they do not file the W-4. Is this because the payroll at job 1 does not know about payroll at job 2, and the payroll at each job has a lower estimated gross income to withhold from (and perhaps a lower marginal tax rate)? And the W-4 is to let payroll at each job know about the more accurate state of total gross income?

See I did mine right put 4000 for my 2kids n there not taking any federal income tax out I have no idea y someone else said cause I put 4000 for my 2kids and I should just put 0 cause i just claim my kids at the end of the year so I’m confused more now n I notice where it says allowances says 0 so idk 😊

Are you planning on redoing this video for 2023 W4? I just found it and would like to have my new hires who have questions on filling out the W4 watch it.

I think this was more helpful than some of the other videos I watched.

If you don't have a spouse and only have 1 job do u leave 2 blank

I had a refund of $4000.00. How can I have $4000.00 less taken out of my taxes. Do I put that in 4B? Is that an annual deduction? Or should I put in what I want them to take less monthly out? Everything else was filled out correctly. I do not want to change anything else just have them take $4000.00 less out.

I claimed one child ($2,000) but they are only taking approx $40 out for federal. This is way different from a previous job. Do you know why the difference? I have talked to HR but they said they cannot help on that and to talk with a tax specialist.

What is this “deductions worksheet” I’ve been looking for it forever but it’s not so clear how you find it or where it is

So what if I already have a full-time job and I'm applying for a part-time job, and I'm filing married jointly I have three dependents do I still put on my W-4 form that I have multiple jobs

I claimed 3 dependent at my job. I'm only making 19 a hour. But my job is not withholding federal or state taxes. My pay stubs says they are taking 0 on fed and state. Now I owe $1,022.00 to irs. Why? My employer said there system is correct and that I need to talk to a tax person . This never happen to me. They beating around the bush. What should I do? Thank you

Thank you so much for this video Katie! One question for the dependent, do both spouses add the dependents on their individual W4 with their employers? Thanks
