Can someone answer another tax question?

You can claim what ever you like, but if you have to pay at the end of the year, you will have an underpayment penalty if you owe more than $1000.

In the 90’s it was common for the city bus drvers to claim more than 10 deductions. When the IRS got wind of it all hell broke out and now if someone claims more than 6 or 7 deductions the city asks for proof. I remember at that time an underdeduction of 10% could get you penalties. But the may have changed it to a flat $1000 like DrBill said

Dr. Bill is correct, claim what you like, but be careful, you could really end up with a debt too big for your liking. And the I.R.S. on your A.S.S. for the rest of your life.
