Answer 1

To determine how much her employer will withhold in taxes, Ling will need to provide the following information on her W-4:

1. The number of dependents Ling has - This will help determine her tax credits and, consequently, how much tax to withhold.

2. How much Ling thinks she will make this year - This helps estimate her tax bracket and withholding amount.

So, the correct responses are:

• The number of dependents Ling has
• How much Ling thinks she will make this year

The other options — the average salary in the region and how much Ling’s employer thinks she should pay — are not necessary for filling out the W-4.
