I just got married July 2008... me and my husband both have 300-400 dollars taken from our paychecks every two weeks... I make about 34k a year and he makes 48k a year and his name is under our home we own... right now I claim 2 on my w4 but should I up it to 4 in order to get more money from my paychecks??

No, you probably need to keep exactly where it is for now until you file your joint return and determine what your joint tax liability is for 2008.

If you get a LARGE refund, then, yes, increase your W-4 exemptions to reduce your withholding.
