It's not too bad considering I claim 2 for federal and 1 for state. I think my tax advisor saved me quite a bit. :) |

I decided after all to cancel. I am quite happy about the money I am saving, and the awesome powder I am going to be carving through this weekend in in Tahoe :)
But I am not going to lurk around here much in the next couple weeks. There's not much going on around here, and I don't want to hear how awesome it was in Miami, bla bla bla. I went the last 2 years, so I am content with that for now...and there is always next year. Of course it will be even MORE expensive!!! |

I love claiming '0' on my taxes, I always get a big ass refund:D
My refund this year is going towards a new car. |

The number of exceptions you claim decreases the amount of federal and state taxes that are withheld. So if you claim single-0 you will have more taxes taken out than if you were single-3.
Your tax liability at the end of the year remains the same; it's just the amount that is withheld will be different.
The way the tax tables are set up is the average single person with no dependants with a w-2 and uses the standard deduction should be single-1. Remember this is just an average.
Also, you can always go to your employer and change your withholdings by filling out a new w-4. |

Everyone I know who claims 1 owes money and everyone who claims 0 gets a refund. Might not always be the case but Id rather have a little more taken out of my check and get some back than have to owe. |

I claim 2-3 and I never owe. I do however have a friend from HR Block who does my taxes.
The difference between claiming 0 or 1,2,3 is with 0 they hold your money until the end of the year. Think of the irs as a non interest bank account. The money is yours. I say claim 1 and put that money into an ING account. The IRS doesn't give you interest. :) |
