On your return - you can only claim the "qualifying" ones that exist...and want to because they are deductions. On your W4 (work)..as many or as few as you like or need. Remember, it doesn't change the tax you will actually owe, only the amount withheld...if you claim more than you have you it can cause you to have too little withheld, you will not only owe the extra tax, but a penalty and interest will be applied (and it may be an audit flag), all of which can become really substantial. So, especially if you expect to owe tax on income from other sources, using zero can compensate. The w-4 has a worksheet that helps you determone the right number to claim.

How many dependents do i claim on my w2 to get the least amount of money held out of my check?

If you claim too many dependents you'll have to pay more in tax next year. If you are a very young person you probably can't claim to have five kids. If you are older, you could claim five or six. They wouldn't take out very much, but next year you'd have to come up with a lot of money to make up for what they didn't deduct.

Is there a minimum amount you have to earn to claim your kids on your taxes?

No there isn't. If they fulfill the requirements to be dependents, you can claim them regardless of your income. However, if you don't owe any taxes, don't qualify for EIC, and don't qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit, it probably won't do you a whole lot of good.
