You don't get income tax..you pay it. You may get a refund of OVERPAID estimated tax, like getting money back when you use a $20 bill to pay a $10 charge. You paid $12. It doesn't make a difference what you claim onyour W-4, the amount of tax you actually pay is determined by your 1040 return.....and that should reflect your actual number of dependents and exemptions. Claiming 0 on W-4 (or 1040) would mean you have the HIGHEST amount of tax withheld and on your return would pay more than if you had dependents.

How do you know which income tax form to file?

As far as getting started, you have to choose from Form 1040, Form 1040A, or Form 1040EZ. Choose the simplest form that fits your situation. Choose Form 1040EZ if your taxable income is under $100,000, you're filing Single or Married Filing Jointly, you and your spouse are under age 65 and not blind, you're not claiming any dependents, your interest income is $1,500 or less, or the only tax credit you're claiming is for earned income. Choose Form 1040A if your taxable income is under $100,000, you have capital gain distributions, you're claiming IRA or education-related deductions (educator expenses, student loan interest, tuition/fees) , or your tax credits, if any, are only for children/dependents, education, elderly/disabled, retirement, earned income, or making work pay. Otherwise, you're required to use Form 1040 if you're claiming itemized deductions, if you have certain types of income (self-employment, partnership, estate/trust beneficiary, unreported tips), your income is over $100,000, or you're reporting income from rental or sale of property, etc. Each of these three forms indicates any required attached forms or schedules. For example, 1040A and 1040 state "Attach Form 8917" for the tuition and fees deduction under adjustments to income.
