How many personal allowances do I get on my W-4 form?

Question

Ok no one claims me dependent (A) and I am single and have one job (B,1)

So do I have two allowances?

Answer 1

Go to PayCheckCity, enter your data and it will compute your withholding allowances for you:

Answer 2

Generally, the allowance would be equal to each person so 1 would be your allowance.

Since you're single and claining self, you get 1 allowance.

You can even choose 0 allowance or more, if you'd like.

Remember that the more allowances you choose, the less withholdings are withheld, the more take-home pay you get and vice versa.

Answer 3

That looks right.  You can claim lower, so if you need more taxes withheld you can claim lower.
