Filing status question and filling out W4 for new job.

Pascale2 · ‎May 24, 2023

I have been able to qualify for HOH status as a single mother for many years. Not sure how I still qualify, maybe because my 30-year old unemployed daughter still lives with me, and I pay for all of our household expenses. Anyway, I changed jobs recently and not sure how to fill out the W-4 so that I won't owe anything at the end of the year. Can you help?

Hi @Pascale2 ,

Here is a link which explains when you are qualified to claim head of household status. From what you have stated in the question, you support your unemployed daughter who lives with you. You qualify to claim head of household since she is a "qualifying person".

Do I qualify for Head of Household in 2022?

Your second question is how you can fill out the W-4 for your new job so you do not owe taxes when you file your tax return.

Below is W-4 Calculator for 2023 which will help you determine that.
