Trouble with HR? (Pay)

As a summer analyst, is there any chance of getting in trouble with HR for claiming 5+ allowances on the W-4? How common or taboo is this practice? I just don't want to send any red flags or violate any HR policy, but my intuition tells me that HR cannot influence my decision, regardless of how outlandish the number I claim is. Thanks.
