>>> sign up for the maximum number of dependants allowable (wasn’t it allowable for an individual to claim up to 10 dependants? <<<
Just an FYI, it’s 8 **exemptions**, not 10 dependents. Many people mistakenly think it’s about dependents, but it is not.
And it reduces withholding (that’s the whole point), but not even close to zero $$$.
Then you have to get very creative at filing time so you dont have to pay in additional money. It is time to repeal the 16th, put the IRS out to grass, and install the Free Tax. It is insane that we have people out of work, out of homes, and losing everything we have so we can send our tax money to assist Korea and Libya....just WTH is going on in the minds of our elected officials.
Send them nothing. STARVE THEM OUT.
