Thanks ma man. I'm checking out Dave's site now. Those testimonials look pretty good.



I did try to approach my withholding agent myself with a Statement of Citizenship. Not sure if you are familiar with that but the law says that only non-resident aliens are to have taxes withheld and that as long as someone hands the withholding agent a statement of citizenship, he can rely on that as being true and stop withholding of course the agent got the legal department in on it and I talked to the lawyer myself and explained that it was the law but told that the law is up for interpretation (which I said was BS). Any law that can not be understood by a person of average intelligence in void for vagueness. He told me that he would send a letter to the IRS and ask if it was ok to stop withholding.



Well of course the IRS never wrote back and they kept withholding. At that poiint I didn't know what else to do. So I just claimed 7 on the Fed side and exempt on the state side. The state doesn't check up on exempt w-4's. The Fed does though. What is the max number of exemptions before they are sent to CA for review? Do you know? I thought it was 9 but I'm not sure.
