It sounds like you wish to get a large tax return. In that case when filling out your W-4 form you should claim S-0 (thatu2019s single with zero exemptions). This means that your employer will take out the maximum amount. For those people who insist upon the government having use of their money all year there is also an option to have additional funds taken out and held and then returned when your annual return is filed. For that matter you could allow the government to keep it all during the year and then when you file your return instead of taking a refund just tell them to keep it toward next years return. Seriously, I know the large tax return seems nice and for some people that is how they save for vacations and other things, but a tax return is not a gift from the USA. It is your money and receiving a large tax return means that you allowed someone else to have your money for a year without paying you interest for the privilege of keeping your money.
