The fewer exemptions you claim on your W-4, the more income tax will be withheld from your pay. Therefore, 0 exemptions will cause more withholding the 1 exemption.
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. Some people end up having to pay money to the Government at tax time because not enough was withheld during the year. Those people sometimes choose to claim zero (0) dependents on their W4 so that more money will be withheld during the year and they will have less to pay at tax time.
Same as with one, except you'll enter the different W-2s seperatly and they combine in the income and withheld areas.
An employee who claims fewer allowances on their W-4 form will have more federal income tax withheld from their paycheck. This is because fewer allowances indicate a higher tax liability, leading the employer to withhold a larger portion of the paycheck for taxes. Conversely, an employee who claims more allowances will have less tax withheld, reflecting a lower tax obligation. Therefore, the number of allowances directly affects the amount of federal income tax withheld.
The amount that is withheld depends on the marital status and the number of withholding allowances you put down on your W-4 form. A person who checks the "single" box on the W-4 form will have more withheld than a person who checks the "married" box if they both claim the same number of withholding allowances. If they claim a different number of withholding allowances, there is nothing that can be said about who will have more withheld. Remember that the amount withheld does not represent the actual amount of tax you owe. That is determined when you fill out your Form 1040 at the end of the year. If the married person has a spouse who earns the same or more than the he/she does and the couple does not have a lot more deductions than the single person, the married person may find themselves owing a lot more tax than the single person does. Of course the married person could owe a lot less tax if the person has a non-working or low-earning spouse or a lot more deductions.
A form W-2 is the information form that you get from any employers that you had during a calendar year. You will receive one from each job you had during the year. The form shows your gross income as well as all taxes that were withheld from your income for social security tax, medicare tax, federal income tax, and any state and local income tax. The amount of income taxes withheld will be a credit against your income tax computed on your tax returns and you may get a refund if you had more withheld than you owed or you may owe additional taxes if you did not have enough withheld to cover the amount of your total tax due.

Refund
When you enter a second W-2, it may increase your total income, which can push you into a higher tax bracket. This can result in a lower tax refund or even owing money to the IRS because more taxes may need to be withheld from your paychecks to cover the higher income.
To determine if you owe taxes based on your W-2 form, compare the total amount of taxes withheld from your wages to the amount of tax you owe based on your income. If the withheld amount is less than what you owe, you may need to pay additional taxes. If the withheld amount is more, you may be eligible for a tax refund.
To increase the amount of federal taxes withheld from your paycheck, you can submit a new W-4 form to your employer with a lower number of allowances or request a specific additional amount to be withheld. This will result in more taxes being taken out of each paycheck.
Very likely not - epending on when nyou filed and when the money was withheld...the refund is because you had more money than needed withheld from your paycheck and pu in (essentially) a savings account at the IRS to pay your eventual liability. This money, earned and saved pre-filing, had you not had it put aside (or had you correctly estimated and completed the W-4 so the right amount was withheld), would have been available to pay the creditors. You know, you could literally have had 100% of your pay withheld....think it makes sense youc could get and keep it after filing BK?
