Oh honey, claiming 99 exemptions on your paycheck is like telling the IRS, "I'm gonna need a bigger boat." Sure, you'll see more cash in your paycheck because they're not withholding as much for taxes, but come tax time, you better have a good accountant or you'll be in for a rude awakening. It's a risky move, so proceed with caution, my friend.

Do you get more in your paycheck if you claim 0 or 1?

If you claim one (1) dependent (yourself) on your W4 form you will get more money in your paycheck, and less will be withheld as part of tax withholding.

They are - like so many - perpetually broke and can't/don't save money. They would be broke even if they had more money, always will be. (They would spend the money they need to pay taxes...but they need that money to py taxes...where will it come from?) And of course, the government needs the income through the year too...it pays it's bills all the time, not just annually.


What does it mean to claim zero allowances on the w-4 form?

Claiming zero allowances on your w4 means that the Government will take the maximum amount of taxes possible from your check each paycheck. This ensures that you will get a refund at tax time but it means that the government is holding on to some of your money all year until tax time rolls around. Only do this if you owe money to the IRS and want them to hold on to more money as a no-hassle way of making small payments to the IRS each paycheck.
