Please refer to the following response to your question regarding the inclusion of W-4 forms.

Basically, in the U.S., a married couple filing a return is not treated as
dependents, even if the wife does not earn income. Basically, the income of a married couple, even if only the husband earns
income, is considered to be the income of the couple, and 50% of the income is considered
to be the wife's income.
The IRS return has a form to calculate Other dependents, and the
details of the Other dependents are entered on that form and filed.
The sixth item on that form is the number of Other Dependents.
In the notes, there is a note that the wife should not be included in this Other Dependents.
Please see attached below.

My husband and I are filing as husband and wife （ co-workers ） We have entered our number as 0, but both FEDERAL and STATE from the company were deducted less and we had to pay taxes every year, so we recently amended our W-4 to have an extra amount deducted as a plus.

They will deduct the extra amount you want from your salary as your tax amount.
