Hi jmom623,

Thanks for your question. So your filing status is determined based on your marital status on 12/31/2022. If your divorce is final you will file single assuming you have no dependents. Your marital status on New Year's Eve applies to the whole year. 

 

It sounds like you are referring to the old form W4 (pre 2020). If that is the case, you will only fill out Step1 of the new form W4. Since you have no dependents you won't enter anything in Step 3 of the form. In Step 4c you can have extra withholdings on each paycheck. I hope this helps!
