B. Average income tax paid over the past five years

OD. The number of dependents an employee will claim

Answer 1

W-4 tax forms include:

D. The number of dependents an employee claims.

The W-4 tax form, also known as the Employee's Withholding Certificate, is used by employees to indicate their federal income tax withholding preferences. One of the main sections of the form requires employees to indicate the number of allowances or dependents they will claim. This information helps determine the appropriate amount of federal income tax to be withheld from their wages by the employer.

The W-4 form does not include information such as total earnings and tax deductions from an employer (option A), average income tax paid over the past five years (option B), or proof of an employee's eligibility to work in the country (option C). These types of information are typically handled by other forms or documents, such as pay stubs, tax returns, or employment eligibility verification forms.
