"Hi there, this is sort of a money management question?  I apologize in advance and let me preface with I'm not asking for tax advice for my own personal finances I'm just trying to figure out how to fill out this new darn form.  I got a new job and my old company was using my old form which still has 8 allowances on it.  I am switching from semi monthly pay to bi weekly and the online calculators for how to fill out this thing are really not helping me... I want to keep my deductions pretty much where they are now but I have no idea how to translate the 8 federal allowances I have now to this new monetary based form.  I did the worksheet... but I think its giving me like a number to break even and I generally like to owe them money each year and just pay it at tax time.  \n \n\n\n\tI saw there is a \"computational bridge\" method out there which the IRS released to allow employers to convert old forms to the \"new\" form... can I just use that method???  Or is that just for employers?  I am the sole earner in my house, and I can't afford to mess up my paycheck and then not be able to pay my bills.  I even tried to get HR to help me with what type of number goes in this box but they won't help me.  \n \n\n\n\tI know the standard deduction for married jointly is 25,100 ... but if I want them to take LESS from my check, do I put a figure in box 4(b) that is like 30000 or do I put 5000 to indicate that I want 5k more than the standard?  \n \n"
