Hi Nrwgngrl,
Thanks for your question. You might be referring to the old form W4 (pre2020) . I'm assuming you are asking about dependents in step 3. If this is the case you only claim children under 17 or other dependents in this step. A spouse is not eligible to be a dependent so for step 3 neither you nor your spouse would be listed.
