The correct answer is: No because Jane's parents still claim her as a dependent.
Line C on the W-4 form refers to the number of allowances the employee is claiming. An allowance represents a certain amount of income that is exempt from withholding for federal income tax purposes. In general, one allowance can be claimed for each dependent a person has.
In this case, Jane is not eligible to claim any allowances on line C because her parents still claim her as a dependent on their tax return. As long as someone else claims her as a dependent, she cannot claim any allowances. Therefore, the correct answer is no, she should not enter the number 1 on line C.
As you answer questions about her W-4, it will be helpful to know that:
She is not married and does not have any children.
Jane's parents still claim her as a dependent on their tax return.
Before you answer the following questions, make sure you read the paragraph on the W-4 form titled "Exemption from withholding" including the "Note."
