<prompt> Human: So this year my wife and I will be getting a large tax return back, around 7500 for federal and state combined. I would prefer that money be in my monthly paycheck rather than a large return at the end, so I was thinking we should claim more exemptions on our W4s. Right now we currently each claim 1. We each can claim up to 4.What is the best way to determine how many exemptions to take if I want more money in our paychecks? I dont want to have to pay in at the end of the year. Im a bit nervous about just going off of our return amount from this previous year though, as our income will be substantially 20k increasing in 2016.Thanks  <response>: Use the withholding calculator at IRS.gov, linked for you in the bot. Revisit the calculator later in the year to be sure you are on track.
