Mr. and Mrs. Vonce can claim two exemptions for themselves, one exemption for their daughter who is a qualifying child, and one exemption for their son who is a qualifying child (earned less than half of his support and was under age 24 and a full-time student for at least five months). This brings the total to four exemptions.
