No. Exempt means you rightfully do not need to pay federal income tax. There would be no point in entering allowances.

"Better" depends on what your individual goals and circumstances are. Choosing zero allowances will result in more being withheld from your paychecks than would choosing one allowance.

When filling out a w-2 what is the difference between declaring 2 or 3 dependents?
I think you mean a W-4, not a W-2. For reference, here is a copy of Form W-4 to look at as you read this answer: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf The first thing you must realize is that Form W-4 does NOT ask you to declare dependents. Look at line 5. It says "Total number of allowances you are claiming." Note the word "allowances." Allowances are different than dependents. The only place it asks you to enter the number of dependents is on line D of the "Personal Allowances Worksheet" which is used to calculate the number of allowances you should claim, but is not given to your employer. You should truthfully use the number of dependents that you will actually claim on Line D. When you fill out the part of Form W-4 that you will give to your employer, you fill in the number of allowances you are claiming on line 5. Unless you have a lot of income from some source other than your job, this should be larger than the number of dependents you have. The larger the number of allowances, the less tax will be taken out of your paycheck. If you choose three allowances instead of two, you will get a larger paycheck every week, but you will get a smaller refund at the end of the year. In other words, you won't have to wait a whole year to get your money and you won't have to pay for a rapid refund loan or e-filing to get your money faster.

How do you determine how much to deduct from a paycheck?
How much federal tax is deducted is determined by how many withholding allowances you select on Form W-4. Ask your employer's HR or payroll department for a Form W-4, fill it out, and return it to them. How do you select the number of allowances? There are many calculators on the net that are designed to help you. The IRS has a calculator here: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96196,00.html Your state may have a similar form for state income taxes. After you choose the number of withholding allowances, you can see how much tax will be deducted from each paycheck by using the following calculator: http://www.paycheckcity.com/NetPayCalc/netpaycalculator.asp Do a "sanity check" on the amounts that are subtracted from your (and your spouse's if filing jointly) paychecks and make sure the amounts are roughly what you expect to owe in taxes at the end of the year. You should end up neither getting a refund nor owing the government more than $1000. If you are getting a refund, you can have a little less tax deducted by increasing the number of withholding allowances. If you are paying too much at the end of the year, you can have a little more tax deducted by decreasing the number of withholding allowances.
Why is no federal tax was taken from my paycheck?
Possible reasons: 1) Your income is very low. 2) The number of withholding allowances on your W-4 is very high. 3) You claimed "exempt" on your W-4. 4) Your employer is treating you as a contractor rather than an employee. 5) There is some sort of clerical error. 6) You applied for Advance EIC payments. If you normally get back all of your taxes at the end of the year anyway, this is not a bad thing. If you don't, then you should investigate further.
What is a formal organization for the IRS?
Formal organization means that an organization has set itself up under state law. It has issued an employer identification number (EIN) by the IRS. Its appropriate federal tax classification (corporation, partnership, etc.) has been identified. Formal organization is required in order to apply for tax-exempt status with the IRS. Tax-exempt status means exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. An organization that's been granted tax-exempt status by the IRS is called a charitable organization. For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 557 (Tax-Exempt Status for Your Organization). Also go to the IRS Charities and Non-Profits Section at www.irs.gov/charities for Exempt Organizations FAQs and more.
