I'm about to start a new job in a new state and would like to ask some questions before submitting my W4.
Background: I am not married and have filed as head of household for a number of years since my elderly parent lived with me and I claimed her as dependent. Parent passed away during Q1. I intent to file federal taxes as head of household once tax season comes due to my mother living with me part of the year.
Currently: I am moving to a new state for a new job and I need to fill out my W4 this week. Should I enter single or head of household? I don't have a living dependent any longer so single seems logical. I am unsure if selecting single affects anything once I go to file my federal taxes for 2023. Should I elect head of household and just not add any dependents? I'm unsure on what to do W4 wise.
