My last year total tax withheld was only $118, with the total number of "3" allowances on W4. That caused me to pay a lot of tax at the end of the year. I'm single, claim my mom as my only dependent who has 0 income, and am the head of household. So the items A, D, and E are answered with 1. and the total is 3. (Doesn't matter for me whether to pay more taxes monthly or at the end of year, but which on is better and takes less money?)
You can use the Withholding Calculator on IRS.Gov to determine the appropriate number of personal exemptions to claim on form W-4.
