Assuming that you're talking about filling out a W-4 form, you should file yourself and any other dependents that you have, not counting your unborn child. At the bottom of the form where you sign, there is a little statement "I swear that the information above is true and correct." or something to that effect. Even though many, many people make false claims on their W-4 forms, it would suck to be the one caught for falsifying IRS documents when they decide to make an example of someone.

With that warning out of the way, you may claim 15 dependents if you wish. They'll take next to nothing out of your paychecks and you'll owe a mint at the end of the year. Or you could claim zero, pay maximum taxes and get money back at the end of the year. I personally don't like using the federal government as a zero percent savings account that I can only access once per year. But that's just me....

You mean a W-4 Form. A W-2 is what you get at the end of the year showing how much you made.

When filling out the W-4, it's really up to you, the more dependants you list the less is taken out of your paycheck, but the more you may have to pay in taxes.

Now if you talking about a tex return a 1040, then list the number of dependents that there are, do not list unborn children as they have not affected the tax year that just ended, because technically you go to the doctor, not the fetus.

As the previous person said, it depends on whether or not you want a larger return.

You also need to consider WHEN the baby is due. If the baby won't be born until 2007, you should only put yourself down. You can submit a new w-2 after the baby is born.

Not for yourself. If you expect to deliver before the end of the year, add a dependent (at any time) for your W-2 form.

Up to you; if you want more on your regular paycheck, put yourself and your dependent down (2 dep); if you'd rather get more back at the end of the year, show "0".

Usually best to file single 0 so that you don't owe at the end of the year, but it is up to you...

You and your are now getting screwed into taxes you should not have to fill out w2s
Or for people who are making fun of those who claim everything is about oil. There's also this little fact:

The Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person.

In 2003, each of the nearly 600,000 Alaska US citizens (residents of Alaska for at least one year) received a check for $1,107 from the APF. The total amount dispersed was $663.2 million. The $25 billion investment fund's core experienced stock market losses which led to the dividend's decline this past year compared to the several previous years. The amount was $433 less, a 28 percent drop from the 2002 pay out of $1,540, and a 44 percent decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in year 2000. The amount changes based on a five-year average of APF investment income derived from the bonds, stock dividends, real estate and other investments.

Alaska relies on oil for about 80 percent of its revenue and has no sales or income tax. Alaska state government is mandated to invest 25% of its oil revenue into the APF while the other 75% of oil royalty revenue is dispersed to other government funds to finance education, infrastructure and social services. If 100% of Alaska's oil royalties had been deposited into the APF, it is conceivable that the CD this year could have been about $4,400 or $17,600 for a family of four. But then there would have been no funds for roads, education and other public services and no funds available to run the state legislature - a libertarian dream fulfillment or a social and economic disaster, which one we will never know. If state services were to have been maintained while 100% of oil royalties were deposited in the APF, there would of course have been the need for income, sales and other taxes on wages and production.

Hoover Institution
Kuwait:

Democracy, Kuwait Style
Peter Berkowitz



It’s not that the woman question was the only issue faced by voters. From the owner and editor in chief of Kuwait’s largest newspaper, to the chief executive officer of Kuwait Petroleum Company, to the former Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, our interlocutors argued that the Kuwaiti economy is stagnating and that the remedy is privatization. This is a difficult proposition, however, in a country where 90 to 95 percent of the labor force is employed by the government, which generally pays more than the private sector. And designing institutions to create the right incentives will be difficult in a country whose oil wealth supports a massive welfare state with no taxes that generously funds its citizens’ health, education, and housing needs.

Pollution free electric power has been all over DC. Clinton, Gore, Newt, Sam Nun, DOE, and many other you wouldn’t know.

Clinton “was too busy moving the country forward”
Gore said “I wish you good luck, I’m glad to see other’s are working on our energy problem”
Newt “promised his full support” To sell to Ga. Power for a .01c on the dollar to invent and patent this tech
I have letters from these crumbs saying this!
Sam was to busy with Armed Services he just brushed me off real fast!
Mason Wiggins of the Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee said “ this appears to be the secret we’ve been looking for” he took it to friends in the DOE. DOE management found it had come in the back door and threw 100% clean electric power 1000 times more electric power than the largest Nuclear plant.

If Alaska pays
Kuwait pays even it’s indirectly after the gulf war losses
Dubai pays
I’ve read Norway does something like this
I read that Nigeria is working on paying with a fund for the people

Why can’t your state pay you? With all the resources of the feds why can’t the feds pay 50 times what Alaska pays?

The dems and reps have all the power shouldn’t they have the responsibility for their mismanagement?

VOTE! Vote for anyone as long as they’re not a dem or rep!

If our founding father were alive today. They would lay siege to DC tar and feather ALL the officials and hang them on the steps for all to see the consequences of screwing Americans!!

There must be security for all, or none are secure!
This requires losing no freedoms, only to act responsibly!
