Hello! By filling out your W-4 to reflect head of household filing status with two dependents, you have chosen to have less taxes withheld from your pay than a single person with no dependents. This may result in no taxes being withheld if you are only working part time and the amounts on your paychecks are low. Because you have two dependents, you may qualify for the Child Tax Credit and/or the Earned Income Credit, which are both refundable credits and sometimes result in a refund even if no taxes were withheld. However, if you wish to ensure that federal and state taxes are being withheld, change your W-4 to reflect yourself as Single, and do not fill out the section on dependents. This way, even if you are only working part time, you should have enough withheld to cover your income. You can do the same on your state W-4, if you like. Hope this helps!
