- 4). Estimate the highest-paying job for employees holding multiple jobs or the wages paid the higher-paid spouse. Continue to fill out the form through step 9.
- 5). Enter the result of Step 3 as the number of exemptions claimed on line 5 of the W-4 form. Enter the results of Step 4 as the additional amount to be withheld on line 6 of the W-4.
