I just got a new job. I have no kids, I am single, and I'm renting a room (not an apartment). I prefer to have more money (or just the right amount) taken out and withheld thus receiving a refund, RATHER than cutting a check every april 15th. Other information: I'm living and working in California. What should I have on line H and 5? Thanks!
Put single, 2 allowances (2 on line 5) to come close. You'll either get a small refund or owe a little, probably under $100. If you want to be sure not to owe ANYthing, put 1.
