is there a reason you want the US Government to hold your money interest free for on average 6 months. if so, then yes reduce the number of exemptions and loan the government your money for a while.
The more tax you have withheld from your paychecks, the more you can get as a refund at tax time next year. But, as mentioned above, that is your own money. Having more withheld just to get a bigger refund next year means you gave the government an interest free loan all year. Why not put your money into an account where it can earn some interest instead of letting the government hold it all year?
