its 0 . i've alwasy claimed 0 even with 4 kids as a safety net that i wont suddenly have to pay something later.

This is opposite of what OP is asking. If you claim zero exemptions then your employer will pull the most out of your check, giving you a bigger refund come tax time and smaller net paychecks.

OP wants to do the opposite by having their employer pull no tax withholdings (deductions) from their check.
