I am not claiming either just 0.

Answer

Dear XXXX XXXXXXXX,

You can not claim on a W-4 form neither, You have to indicatre a filing status on the W-4. If you do not, then the default rate is single and zero exemptions.

Base on that, your witholding should approximate the following:

Weekly Gross Pay
$161.50
Federal Withholding
$11.00
Social Security
$10.01
Medicare
$2.34
Georgia
$3.56

Net Pay
$134.59

Your withholding could be more if youi report tips, and those tips have to have ss and mc tax withheld on.

Also my calculations do not inlcude any withholding for insurance or other benefits.
