Yes. Form W-4 is Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. Included with Form W-4 are three worksheets: Personal Allowances Worksheet, Deductions and Adjustments Worksheet, and Two-Earners/Multiple Jobs Worksheet.
In filling out the Personal Allowances Worksheet, Single with no dependents might be able to claim at least two exemptions. One is for yourself. The second is claimed if you only have one job.
You can consider projected tax credits (earned income, education, etc.), adjustments to income (IRA deduction, tuition/fees, student loan interest, etc.), itemized deductions (mortgage interest, etc.) in figuring your allowable number of withholding allowances.
A helpful booklet is IRS Publication 919 (How Do I Adjust My Tax Withholding?). You can print a copy online at www.irs.gov/formspubs by clicking on 'Publication Number' and entering '919' into the Find Box.
