And that does mean you "should" put a 2 under the number of allowances. Your friend may be confused in regards to the "head of household" comment. Are you making the same amount of money as you were with your last job (or in the same bracket) with the same amount of deductions? If so, and you put 2 at your last job and got a small refund, then I see no problem with putting a 2 at your new job. Putting a 1 would mean you get a larger refund, which is of no benefit to you. Definitely use the IRS calc. and that's unfortunate that your HR rep wasn't help :( MLR @ Sallie’s Niece –

I just started a new job and had to fill out a W4. I ended up getting a 2 on the H line (like you calculated) but thought this meant I should put 2 under number of allowances (like the form says). But then a friend said I'm not officially a "head of household" if I'm single and live alone. I think I had put 2 down on my last W-4 and didn't owe any taxes (in fact I got a small refund) but I wanted to make sure what the right thing to put on my form. My HR rep wasn't any help unfortunately. Maybe I should try the IRS calculator. I’m a little confused by this advice. I just started a new job and had to fill out a W4.

Partially, I've just been busy lately, working part time, looking for full time work, starting up a PF blog and spending time with my family and girlfriend all take up time. Partially, I've been waiting for all the tax information to come in earlier this month. And partially, I tend to naturally procrastinate, which is never a good thing and is really hurting me in this case. Today's the day, though; I'll have them written up by this time tomorrow, ready to be sent out on Monday (or perhaps delayed a bit if it turns out I owe money...) ‘And why you waiting to do them!?’

Very helpful. It does make me wonder how much I will owe on taxes, as I was taking two exemptions on w-4 at my last job. Interesting stuff. Very helpful.
