I am stuck in regards to filing out my w-4 at work.

I am married and have been married since April. My husband lives in D.R and I have changed my last name.

In one of the boxes on the w-4 form it states Single; Married; and Married, but withhold at higher single rate. Right under neath it it states if married but legally seperated or spouse is a non resident alien check the single box.

What do I put? I am stuck.

I am stuck in regards to filing out my w-4 at work.

I am married and have been married since April. My husband lives in D.R and I have changed my last name.

In one of the boxes on the w-4 form it states Single; Married; and Married, but withhold at higher single rate. Right under neath it it states if married but legally seperated or spouse is a non resident alien check the single box.

What do I put? I am stuck.

The W4 you fill out however you want the rate of taxes to come out. I always want the most taxes taken out so I file single and 0 for 6 months then usually around July change to single and 4 (get to keep a little more in paycheck).

It's the actual tax filing you have to file correctly and you file either Married and filing separate (you need no SS# for that with spouse away). Or Married filing jointly (You need tax if or SS#).

So restating its all about how much taxes you want taken out of course Married takes the least amount out.

I would follow the official IRS guidelines for the W-4. It says "Note. If married, but legally separated, or spouse is a nonresident alien, check the "Single" box", on the bottom portion area of the form (Employee Allowance Withholding Certificate). If that is your situation, I suggest that you follow that IRS guidance. It doesn't tell you that the guidance is optional. The top of the W-4 is a "worksheet" and doesn't get submitted to the IRS. The bottom of the W-4 (Employee Allowance Witholding Certificate) is submitted to your company but it is an offical IRS form and the IRS eventually gets a copy of it. You need to be careful with this type of thing, because knowingly filing IRS forms with incorrect information could bring you problems later on. Better safe than sorry.
