you can claim up to 9 dependants on your W-4. this does not change your tax status or the number of dependants you can claim on your 1040. it will however give you a little bit more money in your check each week.

What you suggest is insane. Kids aren't stolen away to be put up for adoption. Believe me, I know so many adoptive parents and the children were given up by choice, not by force or manipulation. And yes, there is a giant surplus of homeless children, do your own research! There are thousands of kids in foster care today because of it! I think adoption fills a void in society - giving children without families a loving home. Secondly, it is illegal to offer anyone money or items in return for a baby - LOOK IT UP! when that happens, it's because the mother is exploiting the people who wish to be parents. Trust me, the laws are set up for the bio parents a lot more than anyone else - even if you sign the adoption papers in many states it's not legal for several days, weeks, or even months. Now, if someone wants to give their baby to a new family, THEY have the power to choose who that family is. And if they choose a family who already has children, that is their business, not yours. You don't know any of these women's reasons for adopting. Did you ever stop to think that they might die if they have another child? Maybe they had cancer and it would be dangerous to have a baby. Or maybe they want to grow their family by bringing in someone who may not have a home otherwise. Lives change every day, and families are all different, you have no right judging something you know nothing about.

On your w-4 you can claim whatever you want for exemptions but in your situation if you claim more than 3 you will end up owing the IRS money plus interest at the end of the year.

If you don't itemize deductions you can claim 1 but generallt 0 is better to ensure that you don't owe at the time you file your return. If you itemize deductions you would have to complete the worksheet of page two of the W-4 to see how many additional exemptions you may claim.

You can claim yourself (1 exemption) or none (0 exemption).
Claiming 1 will give you more in your paycheck, but less of a tax refund at the end of the year.
Claiming 0 you will have less in your paycheck, but more in a tax refund at the end of the year.

You can claim whatever you want, but when you FILE, you've got to claim zero.
Why would you want the IRS to keep more money out of your check? They don't pay interest. Put your money into an account that pays interest and then just plan on paying taxes at the end of the year.

Either one or none. Best to claim 0, you will get more back at the end of the year.

You can claim as many dependents as you want on your W-4.....However, when you file your taxes you must only claim the legitimate amount you can claim.....in your case 1 (yourself).

You can claim 0 or 1. If you claim zero you will prob get a bigger income tax check back, or if you claim one you will still get a check but you will get more money on your pay check.
