So here's where I'm at. I always claimed zero at work and got a big tax return. I got $8500 or so in 2013. I adjusted it at work (not sure to what) and got $500 more in my paycheck each month. My refund this yea was about $4600. 1770 on state and 2800+ on fed. Since it only dropped in half by taking $500 in my check, could I take another $400 or so and try to get it near $0. Trying to get as little as possible without going into the negative
