State tax filing

is it possible to get around the quarterly payments by reducing # of dependents? I did this by reducing from myself to zero so that more tax is with held. Why pay more than I have to since I would get some of it back, but the state doesn't pay me interest on this difference that I over estimated so that could reduce the tax penalty.

When i do fill out the taxes, the penalty worksheet isn't filled in so that I can submit the penalty with the tax as a total sum. Thus, one gets letters from the state two months later and it should've of just added it onto the tax bll to begin with.
