Note: filing an amended return does not affect the selection process of the original return. However, amended returns also go through a screening process and the amended return may be selected for audit. Additionally, a refund is not necessarily a trigger for an audit.
This is done by completing each amendment separately, printing the return and the amendment form, and then clearing the amendment form to create a new amendment. First, make sure you print and keep copies of: The original return (both Federal and State, if applicable)

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.
Although the tax withholding system aims to produce the most accurate withholding, you can add an extra amount on Line 4(c) for "extra withholding" to increase your income tax withholding and reduce your paycheck. That will either increase your tax refund or decrease any tax you owe when you file your tax return.
Once a lock-in rate is effective, an employer cannot decrease withholding unless approved by the IRS.
You may reduce the amount of tax withheld from your wages by claiming one additional withholding allowance for each $1,000, or fraction of $1,000, by which you expect your estimated deductions for the year to exceed your allowable standard deduction.
IRS guidance states an employee has the right to make changes to their Form W-4 as often as they would like, and you, as the employer, need to make those changes.
