W-4 FILING Status 'HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD

There is no "Head of Household" status on the W4. They must select Single, Married, or Married, but withhold at higher single rate. The Head of Household filing status is only made on the personal tax reurn, Form 1040.

You should see that if they intend to file as Head of Houshold, then they can take an additonal allowance, which is indicated on Line E of the W4 Personal Allowance Worksheet, and included in Line H, which then goes to Line 1 of the W4.

I hope this helps. Let us know by marking this post as “Solved” or “Helpful”,
