Section II. Withholding Exemptions Line 1: Enter 1 unless you can be claimed as someone else's dependent; in that case, enter 0. Line 2: Enter 0 if you are single or if your spouse files a separate tax return. Line 3: Enter the total number of child dependents or qualifying non-child relatives in your household.
1. If you are entitled to claim 4 exemptions, but only claim 3 on the IT-4, how many exemptions do you claim when filing your Ohio Individual Income Tax Return? You claim 4 exemptions. The IT-4 determines the amount of taxes withheld from your paycheck not how you file your returns.
Fill in the required information accurately and completely. This may include your name or business name, address, taxpayer identification number, and any other relevant details. Clearly indicate that the certificate is being used for resale purposes by checking the appropriate box or section.
How to claim exempt status on a W-4. To claim an exemption, you must complete only lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 and sign the form to validate it. (In Box 7, write “EXEMPT”. Writing this will guarantee that withholdings are not taken from your future paychecks.)
If you move during the tax year, complete an updated IT 4 immediately reflecting your new address and/ or school district of residence. Line 1: If you can be claimed on someone else's Ohio income tax return as a dependent, then you are to enter “0” on this line. Everyone else may enter “1”.
