Number of exemptions/allowances for W-4 form?

Asked by robmandu (21331points) June 16th, 2010

I need to update my W-4 form for 2010 (yay, baby boy!).

However, section G (Child Tax Credit) looks new to me. And if I follow the directions there, it would appear I need to increase my number of exemptions/allowances from 4 to 9. (Without the newest kid, it would be 8). The last time I updated my W-4 was in 2006.

That’s a pretty big jump.

Has anyone else here evaluated their position and had the same result?
