    W-2 forms
    I work to part-time jobs, one part-time I work I'm working about 13hours a week and the other job is about 30 hrs per week. Just wondering what should I claim on my w-2 forms. Some people have told me claim zero on both. I just don't know what to claim.
    Can anybody help me:confused:

    First, this is really a Tax question so I've moved it to the appropriate forum. Second, I think you are talking about your W4, the W2 is how your income is reported. The W-4 is used to claim exemptions to lower your withholding.

    The problem with part time jobs ios because the income is lower, less is held out. But when you had them all together your tax bracket may wind up being higher. So I would suggest listing 0 or 1 on at least one of them if not both.

    I agree with Scott. Claim 1 on the HIGHER paying job and ZERO on the lower paying job.
