    since when are you all in the US? Is the J1 a student or nonstudent visa? You need to determine first, if you are a resident aor nonresident alien. Instructions for form W4 are different for nonresident aliens

    If I were you I would write in 5.  If you want to make sure you receive money back when you file in April 2018, you could but 4 or even 3.
