Can My Husband Claim me on his w2 (tax exemption)?
We recently moved to VA and I will be going to graduate school next year. We dont have any children. I do not work. Can he now claim "2" tax exemptions on his work W2 form. Can I be considered a dependent?
Additional Details
thanks everyone, but by claiming 2 do you think we'll owe money to the irs?
                     
 




Enigma
actually it is a w-4 and yes he can claim you
therefore they will not withhold as much tax on his paychecks
sometimes its better to let them take as much as they can
paycheck to paycheck so you get more back at the end of the year. but it is actually smarter to take that extra money from the paycheck and earn interest on it yourself than letting the government get the interest. the choice is yours. be careful though if he makes a lot you might want to go ahead and claim the 2 exemptions so you won't owe at the end of the year. you can estimate on a 1040 or a 1040A. go ahead and figure the tax both ways and see which is best

alright, you are talking about the W-4, what you get from you employer at the end of the year is the W-2. Anyway, you can claim 10 allowances on your w-4 if you would like, what the allowances do is determine how much is coming out of his paycheck each pay period. What really matters is how many exemptions you claim on your form 1040 at the end of the year. If you are married filing jointly, he will claim you as a spousal exemption. If filing seperately you just claim yourselves.


suzhall73
If I am following your question correctly, I think someone can claim as many dependants as they want on a w-2. What the w-2 does is try to keep you in check as far as your taxes go at the end of the year. In theory, if he doesn't want to owe a boat load on his taxes, he shouldn't be claiming dependants he does have. You are still married? When you file your taxes you get an exemption as a married person, you'll also save some money with tuition credits so I think you should be okay.


Just Me
yes, if you are married then he can claim you even if you did work. You will just file married filing jointly...

1. A W-2 if the form your employer uses to report your wages.
2. A W-4 (the form you probably mean) is used to determine withholding.
3. You do not claim dependents on the W-4, you claim exemptions.
4. Depending on other deductions you will be able to claim, (such as charitable deductions, mortgage interest, etc.) you may be able to claim 3 or more exemptions.

I prefer to use a 1040 to estimate my actual tax liability, then use the withholding tables to find the number of exemptions that will come closest to that amount. That is perfectly legal.

To Celeste: They will probably file 'Married, Filling Jointly'. In that case, both are treated as dependents.

Yes, your husband may claim you as an exemption on his W-4. Claiming 2 exemptions may increase your take home pay but also help with not having too little tax taken out.
There are withholding calculators that can help you figure withholding allowances. H & R Block and IRS (http://www.irs.gov/individuals/page/0,,id=14806,00.html) have one.
However, according to the IRS, he cannot claim you as a dependent on your tax return.

To Steve: An exemtion for a dependent is not the same thing. They'll get an exemption for being married, not for being each others dependent.

Again, it's a W-4. As his wife you and he are both exemptions. As to how much you'll owe, it all depends on the tax bracket you're in, whether you own a home, etc.

You can be claimed by your husband whether you work or not.


ceprn
You're talking about a W4, not a W2, and yes, he can do whatever he wants there. If you're his wife, unless you file separately, he will also claim you on his taxes.

If you're not working, and he is supporting you, you are his dependent.


Doris C
yes he can do this, under the W2 form there is an area he must complete and once that's done you are all set.
