Tax Exemptions?
I recently got married and I have two children from a previous relationship who I have sole custody of. How many exemptions should I claim on my taxes?

atleast two, yoru children from yoru first marriage, if yoru new spouse does not worlk and you have fully support her for more than hal fog the year, you can also claim her, if she has kids, and have done the same with them , then you can claim her kids as well. new tax laws have changed teh desciptions of dependents, regardless of age, if you have suppoerted them for more than half of the tax year you can claim them.

If you got married in 2007, you will almost surely do better between you on taxes by filing a joint return rather than your only other option, which is married filing separately. Filing as single or as head of household is no longer available to either of you since you are married.
On a joint return, you would claim both of your children unless their is a court order that their dad can claim them.
Be aware that if you have been getting EIC, you might not get that now that you are married, since now your joint income will be used to see if you qualify, not just yours. And if you file separately, you wouldn’t be eligible for EIC at all.

If you mean when you file your taxes, at least 4. You don’t mention if your new husband has children that he can claim or not.
If you mean for your W-4, then you and your husband, combined not individually, can claim one allowance for every $3500 in planned deductions in 2008.
