INSTRUCTIONS — 2 — ADDITIONAL WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCES
If you expect to itemize deductions on your California income tax return, you can claim additional withholding allowances. Use Worksheet B
to determine whether your expected estimated deductions may entitle you to claim one or more additional withholding allowances. Use last
year’s FTB 540 form as a model to calculate this year’s withholding amounts.
Do not include deferred compensation, qualified pension payments or flexible benefits, etc., that are deducted from your gross pay but are
not taxed on this worksheet.
You may reduce the amount of tax withheld from your wages by claiming one additional withholding allowance for each $1,000, or fraction of
$1,000, by which you expect your estimated deductions for the year to exceed your allowable standard deduction.
