A single filer with no children should claim a maximum of 1 allowance, while a married couple with one source of income should file a joint return with 2 allowances. You can also claim your children as dependents if you support them financially and they're not past the age of 19.
The IRS defines a dependent as a qualifying child (under age 19 or under 24 if a full-time student, or any age if permanently and totally disabled) or a qualifying relative. A qualifying dependent cannot provide more than half of their own annual support.

What are the income tax rates and brackets? Minnesota's income tax is a graduated tax, with four rates: 5.35 percent, 7.05 percent, 7.85 percent, and 9.85 percent. The rates are applied to income brackets that vary by filing status.
For regular wages, withholding must be based on allowances you claimed and may not be a flat amount or percentage of wages. If you expect to owe more income tax for the year than will be withheld, you can claim fewer allowances or request additional Minnesota withholding from your wages.
