This thread is ridiculous.  Everyone is asking the same question that QB can't seem to answer.  On the W4 form, the employee puts the deduction amount in increments of $2,000 for each dependent but in QB do you enter the $2,000 or put 1 for each dependent.

People have stated that if they enter $2,000 no federal taxes are withheld.  So that leads us to believe we enter the number of dependents.

This is not questioning the W4 form, it is questioning the entering of it into QB.
