@katebert164 What you enter on a W-4 for dependents is not relevant to the number of dependents that you are going to actually enter on a tax return.
Enter 0 on the W-4 for dependents if you are not sure if you will be entering dependents on your tax return. It can be changed at a later date. The W-4 that you give your employer is used to determine the amount of federal taxes to be withheld from your wages by your employer.
