"Claiming" things is no longer a thing and hasn't been for a few years. Update your W4. If your employer still has exemptions listed as an option, it's very very very behind the times.

If you haven't updated your W4 in a few years, both of you should update it.

And pay attention to Step II of the new W4.

FML. My employer didn't explain this, but I should've been more on top of this as well. Thank you and will be doing this ASAP.
