Do I put 0 on W4 or leave it blank?
Most people write 0 unless they otherwise expect to owe the IRS a bunch of money during tax season. Box 7: The only thing that should ever be written in Box 7 is “EXEMPT,” but most people just leave it blank. It’s very rare that someone is completely exempt from having to pay any taxes on their income.
Should I claim myself 0 or 1?
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.

Can I claim 0 if I am single?

Is it better to claim 0?
You should claim 0 allowances on your 2019 IRS W4 tax form if someone else claims you as a dependent on their tax return. (For example – you’re a college student and your parents claim you). This ensures the maximum amount of taxes are withheld from each paycheck. You’ll most likely get a refund back at tax time.
Why do I owe so much in taxes when I claim 0?
You should not claim too many allowances, or you might end up having to pay the IRS. Claiming 0 allowances means that too much money will be withheld by the IRS. The allowances you can claim vary from situation to situation.
