You only have one, yourself. If you have a parent or someone who you are taking care of, you may have more dependents to claim. But if it is you alone, you can claim only 1 and that's you. |

None. duh! lol You really had to ask? You just claim yourself as an exemption not a dependent....Anyone here who says "One" is a complete idiot.
"Just me" seems to think your talking about your W2, that's okay. Sometimes it's hard to read when your an idiot! lol |

On the 1040 it is box 6a yourself. Since you are single without any children boxes 6b-c are to be left blank. Box 6d says to add numbers on lines above. The only number you should have is 1. So box 6d is 1 which is you which is how many exemptions you can claim. :-) |

Zero. You may have a personal exemption for yourself, but you cannot claim any dependents that you do not have. |

You don't have any dependents. You get one exemption, for yourself. |

You get to keep your self as an exemption. Noooo children, if you got none. |

To all the idiots who have said "one...yourself" do you have dual personalities?? You don't claim yourself as a dependent on yourself! Jesus...some people are so stupid! |

You have no (zero) dependents.....you are not considered a dependent on your own taxes. |

I would always claim 0 until you have children. Just make sure to also do so with your employer to ensure that the proper taxes are taken out of your paycheck. They will take out more taxes from your paycheck, but you will get a large return when you file in February!
Also, if you would like to get your filing expenses paid for this year, click on the below link... |

If you are asking how to complete your W-4 for withholding purposes...www.irs.gov, withholding calculator, complete the prompts....

Does anyone live in your house/apartment ? or do u "think" someone lives there ?
If you file as * Head of Household * you get a better refund than if you file as Single-w/no dependents.
The qualification of HOH: is someone else in the dwelling...you dont even need to use them as a dependent..just a first name is all that required - no last name is needed, no social security number..etc.. just a first name like " john" .,.. thats it !

Mary is wrong - and ignore her ignorant comments.
You have two choices, single zero or single one. The safe answer to help ensure a refund is to claim single zero. Claiminhg single one will withhold less money from your check than claiming single zero.
When I was first on my own I claimed single zero just because I would've rather paid too much than too little. Once my income and such had stabilized I moved to single one because I knew basically what taxes I would owe for my income. |

just one (you). |

Your refund is not based on the number of dependents. If you're single with no kids, you should have the maximum taken out of your pay so that you don't owe at the end of the year. |

you can only claim for a "single" income refound, if you dont have a mother, children or someone who depends on you, then you don't get a dependent tax refound for the amount of # of dependents.
Look, this is the thing, you have an amount of money that u make for year...let's say $125,000 ...from that amount, you're going to take the dependent and you're part, that would not be taxed by the state, this is called an exempt:
there is 3 categories that you can choose from
1- single = $ .[depends of your state ..let's say $150]
2- married= $ [depends ...but let's say $300]
3- dependent= $ [$ depends...but let's say $100]
so if you're single you get the single exempt [$150]..no dependents, no exempt.
so it would be
[what you make a year [125,000] - exemption [single = $150] = taxable amount [amount of money that the state can tax you from]
(124850 [amount of money to be taxed from] x . [porcent of what your state % tax is]) = tax amount due :) |
