    What should I be claiming on my W4?
    I am married with two children. I make $42K and my wife does not work. According to the W4 Form I can claim up to 9. What should I be claiming. I do not care about a huge check each year as a return, I would rather have more money for my family throughout the year. I just do not want to have to pay back anything to the IRS. Can someone help?
