Get a copy of the W-4, available in public libraries or your friendly
IRS office.  On the back is a work sheet which lets you determine the
number of deductions you could take.  Then send the front part to your
payroll department. 

I've taken 9 deductions this year (I'm single); I think if you take
over 13 or 14 they'll ask you to demonstrate that you're qualified. 

PS.  Don't ask the ATTBL payroll department to send you a W-4 since all
they'll send you is the form you have to give them, not the worksheet.
