Hi, I am an F-1 OPT student, resident of India, and I've been offered a job in MA. I needed help in filling form W-4 2012. Can you please advise me in entering the details, for some specific questions (below)?
Information: Single, can't be claimed as a dependent, no dependants, one job in MA, F-1 student since August 2010 with no previous earnings till date in US.
Questions/Clarification -
1) I should be entering 2 in H. in the Personal Allowances Worksheet?
2) What do I enter lines 6 and 7?
4) I think the standard deduction applies to me as I'm an Indian resident, but for the purpose of Deductions and Adjustments Worksheet - what should I enter #1, #2, #4, #5 and #6? I don't think after reading through Pub 505, that I have anything that's relevant to #4, #5 and #6; but you think there is anything that I should be concerned about, given my situation for these lines?
5) What would be my net income? (Gross - $40,000)
