How much should I withhold on my W-4?

Form W-4 is used by your employer to withhold the correct amount of income tax from your paycheck. The number of allowances you should claim depends on your filing status, how many jobs you have, and your number of dependents.
Generally, the fewer allowances claimed, the more tax will be withheld from each paycheck, which makes it more likely that you will receive a refund when you file your tax returns. If you prefer receiving a refund at tax time, we recommend claiming fewer allowances on your W-4.
The IRS’s W-4 Withholding Calculator can be used to help determine the appropriate withholding amount.
