Reply to comment by strangebeansgirl in How should line 4b on w-4 affect my take home pay? by [deleted]

No. I mean that your taxable income is reduced by $6000. The withholding would only reduce by the amount of taxes you no longer have to pay on that $6000. Depending on how much you are making it seems like they reduced your withholding by $50 which lines up if you are making less than $20k a year.

Oh then the numbers check out. $4800 * .12 / 12 is about $48 less in tax a month.
