Forgot to claim children on one of my W4s

[Steviedanae76]

Hello! Can anyone give me advice for a question I have, I work 2 jobs and the second job I started this year the W4 was in a weird format and my boss informed me that for the last 5 months on my tax form my 2 dependents weren’t claimed. They changed it for me now but they can’t go back and change the last couple months obviously. So what do I do now when I go to file in 2025?

Your W-4 only goes to the employer, and tells the employer how much to withhold from your paycheck.   It does not dictate how you file your tax return or what you can enter on your tax return.  You just go ahead and claim your children on your tax return.  It is not a problem.   Enter your dependents and their information in MY INFO.

If you want to change your w-4 going forward for 2025, you can do that:
