Personal exemptions for you and your dependents are no longer reported on a W-4 since personal exemptions were removed from the tax code after tax year 2017.

 

Go to this IRS tax withholding estimator to assist in completing a W-4 - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator

No is your direct answer ... look at line 3 of the W-4 ... entering an amount there is optional not required.

Step 3 on the w4 does not say optional
