What tax form do you use to claim allowable exemptions?

Answer:
Form W-4 is Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. It's an IRS form that your employer gives you to complete for the employer's records. Allowable exemptions are the number of personal, dependable, and other exemptions that you claim on Form W-4. Your employer refers to the number of exemptions and your filing status to calculate income tax withholding from your earnings.
