Question

the document shows a personal allowances worksheet
the document asks about dependents because the number can
○ affect who pays taxes.
○ increase overall taxes
○ lower overall taxes
○ affect when to pay taxes

Explanation:

Personal allowances worksheets, used in tax filing, link dependent claims to tax liability. More claimed dependents reduce the amount of income subject to taxation, which in turn lowers the total taxes owed. The other options are incorrect: dependent numbers do not change who pays taxes, increase taxes, or affect tax payment timing in this direct way.

Answer:

lower overall taxes
