You do not claim yourself as a dependent on your tax return. You can only claim someone ELSE as a dependent on your tax return. Your W-4 does not go to the IRS. Your W-4 only goes to your employer so that the employer knows how much tax to withhold from your paychecks. If you do not have enough withheld, then you could owe tax when you prepare your tax return. If you have more than your tax liability withheld, then you get a refund.
