W4 Tax Allowances

Hi, I just got my first paycheck ever and I was wondering if I filled my allowances correctly.

 

I work in Florida,  I make 70k a year and I claimed 3 allowances, because three people rely on me financially.


The people that rely on me is are my 13 year old sister, my 18 year old brother and my mom.  I was reading back through the tax allowances guide and got confused, can I claim more than three allowances?  Is it not a linear claim (1 allowance per person)? I'm the only one who brings in a steady income.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to take as many allowances as possible to support my family.  What is the max number of allowances can I claim?

 

Thank you.
