Multiple W-2s

[Snissell6]

I work to jobs and have two W-2s. To get the most back what should I claim on them? How do I fill it out? Single mother of one child. Head of house hold.

On Form W-4, you should mark Head of Household and answer yes in Step 2 to indicate you have multiple jobs. You can also use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator to estimate any extra amount you should withhold.  It considers your filing status, dependents and any other income.  Divide the amount among your remaining pay periods for the current year and note that amount on Form W-4 Line 4(c).  It will add to your Federal withholdings on your W-2.  If you have too much withheld, it will be refunded on your tax return.  You can make adjustments during the year if your income changes.
