Step 2: Multiple Jobs or Spouse Works

Complete this step if you hold more than one job at a time, or are married filing jointly and your spouse also works.

1. Select one:

a. Use the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App for most accurate withholding for this step (and Steps 3–4)

b. Use the Multiple Jobs Worksheet on page 3 and enter the result in Step 4(c) below

c. If there are only two jobs total, you may check this box. Do the same on Form W-4 for the other job. This option is generally more accurate than (b) if pay at the lower paying job is more than half of the pay at the higher paying job. Otherwise, (b) is more accurate

Step 2b: Multiple Jobs Worksheet

a. How many multiple jobs do you have?

Two (2) Jobs

Three (3) Jobs

1. Two jobs. If you have two jobs or you’re married filing jointly and you and your spouse each have one job, find the amount from the appropriate table on page 5. Using the “Higher Paying Job” row and the “Lower Paying Job” column, find the value at the intersection of the two household salaries and enter that value on this line(Optional)

3. Select the number of pay periods per year for the highest paying job. For example, if that job pays weekly, enter 52; if it pays every other week, enter 26; if it pays monthly, enter 12, etc(Optional)

Line 4 (the annual amount divided by the pay periods) is worked out for you and printed on the worksheet.

Step 3: Claim Dependent and Other Credits

1. Would you like to claim for dependents and your total income is $200,000 or less ($400,000 or less if married filing jointly)?

Yes

Step 4 (optional): Other Adjustments

1. Would you like to complete step 4 (Other Adjustments) for other income, deductions, and extra withholding? This step is optional.

Yes

I claim exemption from withholding for 2026, and I certify that I meet both of the conditions for exemption
