As you answer questions about her W-4, it will be helpful to know that:
She is not married and does not have any children.
Jane's parents still claim her as a dependent on their tax return.
Before you answer the following questions, make sure you read the paragraph on the W-4 form titled "Exemption from withholding" including the "Note."
What should Jane enter on line G? Why?
Group of answer choices
1 because Jane is single with only one job.
0 because Jane has no dependents (children).
0 because Jane's parents claim her as a dependent.
1 because Jane is not married.
The correct answer is 0 because Jane's parents claim her as a dependent.
To determine what Jane should enter on line G of her W-4 form, we need to consider the information provided. Jane is not married and does not have any children. Additionally, her parents claim her as a dependent on their tax return.
Line G on the W-4 form is used to claim the number of allowances. An allowance is a deduction that helps adjust the amount of federal income tax withheld from your paycheck. The higher the number of allowances claimed, the less tax will be withheld.
In this case, Jane should enter "0" on line G because she does not have any dependents (children) of her own, and her parents claim her as a dependent on their tax return. This means she cannot claim the additional allowance for herself.
