Londonderry, NH Resident Looks to Start New Job on the Right Foot
When you start a new job, to get paid via the company’s payroll each new employee will need to fill out
a W4 form. One of the most common mistakes on this form is how many allowances to claim. The
more allowances claimed, the fewer taxes will be withheld from your paycheck. However, if this
number is not correct for your tax filing at the end of the year you may be surprised with a hefty bill in
taxes that you owe. If you are single with one job or married filing as the of household you may want to
claim 1. Single individuals with more than one job or those married and dividing total allowances may
choose to claim 2. Those married with minor children living at home, will often choose three
allowances.
