This is our main tax information forum which deals with topics concerning Canadians living and working in the U.S., U.S. citizens contemplating working in Canada, and all aspects of Canadian and U.S. income tax and related adminstrative issues.
So it turns out I filed the wrong number of exemptions on my W-4 in 2012. I'm single with no dependents and I misread the "Head of Household" exemption - basically didn't notice the condition on having dependents. So I should have had 2 exemptions instead of 3. My W-2 for 2012 obviously now shows 3 exemptions for federal and state. I haven't filed my tax return yet, is there a form I need to file with my return to amend/fix this?
w-4's are not important. if you owe too much at end of year take less exemptions, or vice versa, Doesn't matter.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
