Claiming 1 allowance means that a little less tax will be withheld from your paycheck than if you claimed 0 allowances. Here's when I would recommend you claim one allowance. If you're filing status is single this is the safe choice. ... Though it will be smaller than if you claim zero allowances.

Single filing status generally puts you in a higher tax bracket than married. The more allowances you claim, the lower your taxable wages and the higher your net pay. If you claim too many allowances, you will likely owe taxes. If you claim too few allowances, you will likely get a refund.

If you're a single filer with one job and no dependents, you should claim either one or two allowances. One allowance will most likely leave you getting a refund. Claiming two allowances will get you closer to paying your exact tax liability (i.e. how much you owe in taxes).

Generally, the more allowances you claim, the less tax will be withheld from each paycheck. The fewer allowances claimed, the larger withholding amount, which may result in a refund. ... You'll most likely get a refund back at tax time. Claim zero allowances if someone else claims you as a dependent on their tax return.

You're entitled to one allowance for yourself of a dependent, but just because you are doesn't mean you absolutely have to. You can still claim zero. If you claim zero, it means the most amount of taxes will be withheld from your paycheck.

If you put "0" then more will be withheld from your pay for taxes than if you put "1"--so that is correct. The more "allowances" you claim on your W-4 the more you get in your take-home pay. Just do not have so little withheld that you owe at tax time.
