Hi Albahu!

 

If you choose single in step 1 and leave the other steps blank you will have the least amount of federal withholding deducted.  You can also enter a negative amount in step 4(c) to have even less deducted, but you need to know your current withholding amount to have an idea what to put there.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

 

Can I change the W4 after I know how much the current withholding amount is?
