<prompt> Human: Hi everyone. Once again I come to you to ask advice. I am rushing out of work to head to school so I apologize for any structure issues with what I try to explain.Just a bit of background. Im a single father for about 2 years. I live in NYC and as it turns out I dont make enough after taxes to get a place of my own currently living with mother and siblings, at 32 years old this is unacceptable for me. I have been making much better decisions financially, but it doesnt make much difference since I come home with so little. Overnight, after hearing my brother say he changed his exemptions to 9 and seeing a significant difference in his check, I decided to look into this. I then followed up by reading this subs info on taxes, and I feel like adjusting my withholdings would help. This is something Ive ignored for years due to ignorance. Currently I am listed as single, and have 2 exemptions on file at my job. I pay child support on two children, if that matters. I input my info in the IRS withholding calculator and it suggested 13 withholdings! Now Im not sure if I did anything right.Please help. I want to do this correctly and legally.  <response>: More exemptions will make your paycheck larger, but it wont change what you owe on April 15th. If you are not withholding enough, you will wind up with a large bill when you file at tax time.
