A w-4 is what you fill out usually when you start a new job. You list your name/address/social security and filing status and number of dependants.

This info is used by your companies payroll department to determine yor federal and state withholdings. This form is not submitted to the IRS.

Self employed persons do not need to fill out a w-4.

Go go irs.gov and type in w-4.

Originally posted by Cool Xone One of the biggest deductions you can take is your place of residence/business. If the two are one and the same, then you're set. This of course if you're an independant contractor (1099).

Just be carefull with this though.
