You can claim exemption from withholding only if both the following situations apply: For the prior year, you had a right to a refund of all federal income tax withheld because you had no tax liability. For the current year, you expect a refund of all federal income tax withheld because you expect to have no liability.
Individuals should generally increase withholding if they hold more than one job at a time or have income from sources not subject to withholding. If they dont make any changes, they will likely owe additional tax and possibly penalties when filing their tax return.
Head of Household with Dependents Youll most likely get a tax refund if you claim no allowances or 1 allowance. If you want to get close to withholding your exact tax obligation, claim 2 allowances for yourself and an allowance for however many dependents you have (so claim 3 allowances if you have one dependent).
You dont need to file your W-4 as exempt to avoid getting a refund. You just need to fill the thing out correctly so you arent overwitholding every paycheck. Youll have more money in your paycheck and come spring 2025 youll only have a tiny refund or balance due.
In summary, if you prefer a larger refund and can afford to have less take-home pay, claim 0. If you want more immediate cash flow and are comfortable managing your tax liability, claim 1.

Filing exempt when you do not qualify can result in fines, additional taxes, and big tax bills when you file your return. Students and seasonal workers must check if their income and circumstances are eligible for exemption. A dependent or non-wage income might impact your exemption filing status and tax liability.
Thus, claiming ``0 results in the smallest paycheck, but a larger tax refund at tax time. The larger the number (ie 1, 2, 3, etc) will result in larger paychecks, but will reduce tax withholdings which may result in a smaller tax refund or owing at tax time.
Exemption from withholding An employee can also use Form W-4 to tell you not to withhold any federal income tax. To qualify for this exempt status, the employee must have had no tax liability for the previous year and must expect to have no tax liability for the current year.
