With the exception of how much is withheld the number of allowances on your paycheck has no effect on your tax return. The more allowances (dependents) the less withheld and the smaller your refund at the end of the year. However, you want the smallest refund possible. That's because you're getting the money early during the year in your paycheck, not loaning it to the Government and getting it back later.
