I think people who recommend others bump their exemptions above and beyond what they really have, are just plain giving out stupid advice. Stupid.
ORLY? I happen to itemize every year (mortgage interest, sales and use tax, etc...). i haven't used the 1040EZ form in about 12 years. I have simply adjusted my W-4 up to make sure I do not end up with a refund come tax time. The worksheet they give you for the W-4 is rather pointless. As an example, I am single with no children and I am claiming 4 on my W-4 right now.

Be careful who you are calling stupid...
