    Fill W4 Form in OPT status
    Hi everybody,
    I like this forum:) very much and so this is my first question... :confused: .

    I am on Optional practical training status and working . Can anybody please tell me how to fill "Personal Allowances worksheet" on W4 form?:confused: I mean I am confused what allowances I can claim.
    My details
    I am on my OPT
    Single and only one job
    Nobody can claim me as dependent
    I am not going to claim anybody as dependent

    The one more question is for claiming as "head of household" I should claim somebody as my dependent? :confused: In this case I can't claim anybody as my dependent so should I put 0 in "head of household" claim?

    Thanks a lot AtlantaTaxExpert. I really appreciate your help specially after waiting long time.
    But I was under impression that I can claim TWO exemptions on my W4 form.:rolleyes:

    1. One for " If no one else can claim you as a dependent"
    2. Second one for " You are single and have only one job"
    (These are the first two options (A & B) as they appear on "Personal Allowances Worksheet)

    I qualify for these both options. So can I claim for 2 exemptions? :confused:

    I would really appreciate if you help me with this as soon as possible.
    Once again thanks a lot.
