 I claim single and zero on my W4. I just found out that I owe nearly $2000 federal! How can this be? |
I noticed that my federal taxes paid were exactly 10% of my income. Could this be the reason why? i never asked for a certain percentage to be deducted.

sweet011 | Can I consider my 15 years old brother as my tax dependent? |
I am only single and I stand as the head of the family but our company said that my brother is not qualified as dependent. If that so, the company will deduct much tax on my salary. |

First off at 18 taking care of yourself let alone you younger brother is highly admirable. My heart and my prayers go out to you.
Yes. You are correct.
By Law - You may claim your brother as a dependant.
Cute Mama has good advice. To add to it, since you have internet access you should check out your online resources as well. Take a look at the reference link below. Print out the form and highlight it if you can. At the very least read it, and familiarize yourself with the definitions of “Head of Household” & “Dependant”. Take it into the admin office.
Don’t let your age be to your disadvantage in the work place.
Get your TIN.
By the definition of terms you are the “Head of household”.
Your brother qualifies as a "Dependent Child" since he is under 21 yrs old and dependant upon you for his chief support. I am assuming that he is not married nor is he gainfully employed. Now if he is running a family sari-sari store while you are at work that might be a different story.
Your parents or grandparents, you may also qualify as dependants as senior citizen under Republic Act 7432.
The rule that the admin person of the company is refering to; is that if your brother were to be disabled, mentally or physically, to the point of not being able to make a living for himself and the burden of care fell to you, then you could also claim him as a dependant no matter what his age.

you have to pay more than 50% of the support for your brother to consider him a dependent - your company doesn't have any authority to tell you what you can claim |

Bottom line is that at the end of the year you file as head of household (qualifying, of course) and if your employer took too much out, you get it back. If he didn't take it out and you don't qualify, then you'd have to pay it. |

You already have so many question posted and none of the answers seems to satisfy you. My answer might also tangled you into confusion (if read with all the other answers). Per my understanding, you are talking about Philippine tax laws. I think it will be best if you will read the NIRC for the complete provision of the law. You may visit the BIR website so you may find a copy of the provisions (www.bir.gov.ph) or if you want full details and don’t want to read it, you may call the BIR Contact Center at 981-8888, they have knowledgeable and friendly operators willing to help you in your questions. |

Do you file as head of household? Is your brother claimed by his parents?
Whatever you declare for withholding with your employer will only affect how much they withhold from your paycheck. If you declare zero or one exemptions then more will be withheld but you can get most it back when you file for taxes.
You haven't provided enough information for anyone to help. You may want to call the IRS or one of the tax preparation companies such as H & R Block. |
