It's also a bit goofy because of the way tax allowances work. If you want to be sure to not owe at the end of the year, you should claim 0. Being a single, self-dependant person I believe you're supposed to claim 2, but I did that one year, where I only had 1 full time job with no overtime, and they didn't take enough taxes out for me. If you claim the maximum of 10, they take NO taxes out, but it's up to you to pay everything you owe at the end of the year.
