    You may want to go over your tax situation with a tax professional to make sure that you are withholding enough in taxes. I'm not sure I could explain everything you need to do in this comment, but I think you might be able to see the kind of help you need at an IRS Low-Income Tax Clinic (LITC). This page includes a little more detail, as well as a listing of LITCs around the United States, so you can schedule an appointment with the LITC closest to you: www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/about-us/low-income-taxpayer-clinics-litc/

    Hi…just now seeing this video. Married filing jointly, no kids under 17. Can you not claim yourself as a dependent anymore (1) and place it in step 3 box to the far right above 4a? When you claimed “0” they taxed you at the highest rate.

    I believe that you're thinking of withholding allowances, which used to be on IRS Form W-4. However, 2019 is the last year that used withholding allowances. After that year, the IRS redesigned this form to better account for things like expected tax credits and multiple sources of income.

    For the example you mentioned, the husband has 409 in section 4c. When the wife fills out her W4 form does she also put 409 in section 4c or does she put 0? Thank you.

    Section 4c is a discretionary amount, which means you can put whatever you want. If you're looking for a way to put in the right number, you may want to consider last year's tax return. Based on the change in withholdings from last year to this year, you can make the adjustments to Line 4c to come up with a number to put in there.

    Thank you so much for this video! I have a question, though! Could someone like me, whose parents had claimed “Credit For Other Dependents” for me on their 2023 Joint Tax Return and previously, on their 2022 Joint Tax Return, now, on my own, claim credits like the College tuition credit, New York State household credit, and Earned Income Credit in 2024 since I will be starting a part-time paid summer internship from June 4th to August 16th 2024 (2 months 1 week)! The company had hired me in April! I am a single person with no children, and for this part-time paid summer internship, I have to fill out the NY Withholding IT-2104!

    You should be able to claim tax credits on your own, as long as your parents are not still trying to claim you as a dependent in 2024. I don't know specifically about the New York State household credit. However, a brief look at the website indicates that as a single taxpayer, you might be eligible for a $75 nonrefundable credit as long as you cannot be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's return, and as long as your adjusted gross income (AGI) is $28,000 or less: www.tax.ny.gov/pit/credits/household_credit.htm

    Hi! What happens if i just leave Steps 2-4 as blank? Will this create any issue that could lead us to paying a lot during tax season. Filling status marrid filling jointly no dependent, 2 jobs total (husband-1job & me- 1job). Thank you!

    According to the form instructions, you should both check the box in 2c. Then you should complete Steps 3 & 4 for the highest paying job only, while leaving the other blank. If you *don't* do this, then you might be underwithholding, but I can't be sure. If you're concerned about overpaying, you can always go through the tax estimator worksheet for IRS Form 1040-ES (see below), then compare that result to your withholdings.

    When you say, “leaving the other blank,” do you mean that the spouse with the lower income should check the box and the spouse with higher income should check the box & fill out steps 3 & 4?

    I'm not sure what you mean by fill up. But if they're not deducting from your paycheck, you might want to start with asking your HR department for a copy of the Form W-4 that they have on file. From there, you can decide if you need to make adjustments for additional withholding (Line 4c) or not. If you have not updated your W-4 in a while, I would definitely start there. If your employer cannot find your W-4, then you might need to start from scratch. I would complete the Form W-4 as the instructions state. If there's something that doesn't make sense, leave it blank (you can do that). From there, I would check your pay statements once the withholdings kick in, then use the worksheet in IRS Form 1040-ES to estimate whether you're on track, underpaying (you might owe next year), or overpaying (you might get a refund). Then you can make changes to your W-4 to correct your withholding. IRS Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax Voucher Article: www.teachmepersonalfinance.com/irs-form-1040-es-instructions/ Video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6V1wZKIiJzRqKw.html This doesn't cover state tax withholding. Your employer may require you to complete a different form, based upon your state of residency.

    If your wife doesn't work, then you should complete the information in Step 1, skip Step 2, then follow the guidance in Step 3. For Step 4, you could leave this blank for now, then check in a couple of months to make sure that you have the right amount of taxes being withheld. If you need to increase that amount, then you would add the amount of extra withholding in Line 4(c). To check and see about your withholdings, you can use the worksheet in this video. I've also attached a link to the form, if you need to send additional checks to the IRS. You might not need to do so, if you decide to increase your tax withholdings.
