okay so I get my W-2 forms and my W2 is my federal pay out is like way less than my state and according to what the employment service company I'm working through said that I filed 3/4 State and for federal I don't understand that I've never understood that at all because as far as I know it claimed three if I'm not supporting my son other than giving my mother money to help support him I claim 3 so how is it three and four how's it different I don't understand that's what they're trying to explain to me so they're going to give me copies somebody screwed up somewhere and I Know It claimed three so it can't be three and four for federal it makes no damn sense
