If you claim 0 - you will be taxed the most. If you claim 1 (which is yourself) you will presumably be taxed the right amount and break even when tax time arrives. However, claiming exempt means that you are exempt from paying taxes and that would require you to be WELL below the poverty line, making little to no money at all. You would have to figure out what the amount of income is that allows one to be exempt, I don't know the figure. Many people suggest claiming 0 to be on the safe side and just get the money back from the government when you file taxes. Others say, claim 1 and don't allow the government to have a tax-free loan with your money! I would claim 1, see how much is withheld and look at a tax table to see what the amount of money is that should be withheld and determine if claiming 1 will get you there. If it won't, then you'll wind up owing and you don't want that, so then change it to 0 and you should be fine. As for exempt there are very few people who qualify for tax exempt status. Chances are, you're not one of them.

It depends on where the $4200 came from (capital gains? wages? interest?), whether or not you're married, how many dependents you have (and whether or not you can claim yourself as a dependent), whether the amount is gross, AGI, or taxable income, and lots of other things..
