Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello sherondajohnson!

 

Congratulations on the birth of your child!!

 

Yes, you need to fill out a new W-4 to include the little one and change your tax filing status to HOH, as you correctly mentioned.

 

  • In Step 1: check the HOH box
  • In Step 3: add your dependent in the first line by entering $2,000 as indicated on the form.
  • Since you own a home, you will most likely be using the itemized deductions which should further reduce your taxable income.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using TurboTax Live!
