Why can't i claim myself when it comes to Taxes in NC?
Before this year I have always claimed 4. That's 2 kids, the Wife and Myself. When HR came around to have everyone do the (not so) EZ-Form, After I wrote the 4 she asked if I counted myself. Of course I did. This is when I was told NC no longer does Taxes like that.
Am I being fed some Crap, or is this legit?

Apparently North Carolina wants the state taxes paid as you go through the year. Go to http://www.dor.state.nc.us/downloads/nc4ez.pdf and read the instructions again.
But, then again, if you own your home or can otherwise itemize your deductions on your tax returns, you might go to http://www.dor.state.nc.us/downloads/nc4.pdf and work your way through the 'long' form version.
Both forms caution you not to claim more allowances than you are entitled, and clearly says most people should claim zero allowances. You might run through the calculator at www.paycheckcity.com to see what the effect will be on your STATE tax withholding, based on your current earnings and the 2013 tax rates. Or wait until Thursday and use 2014 tax rates. Hopefully there won't be too great a change.

No they are just doing their JOB correctly at this time in your life and your W-4 for the FIT withholding amount could probably be 4 or 2, 03 if you would choose to claim either amount for the 2014 tax year.
Hope that you find the above enclosed information useful. 12/30/2014

NC did change the rules for their NC-4 form, so you probably can't claim yourself because the laws don't allow it. Follow the worksheet ...
Your (federal) W-4 is not affected.
