This would give you more money on each check, but you would get less back or more likely have to pay in. If you want the most money back you always claim zero, and find lots of dependants to claim for the year(not claim on your forms for work, just claim on the actual taxes) If this still is not enough you can ask your employer to take out extra taxes( I used to have mine take out an extra $20 per pay period just to be safe) that way I didnt really miss the $20 and I got an extra $520 back at the end of the year in a lump sum. But yes, the more you make, the more you get taxed always....percentage wise and dollar wise. (with all things being equal otherwise)
