The easiest way would be to make sure you paid in over 110% of your previous years tax liability. So, if for 2021 you had a tax liability on line 18 of $30,000, you would need to be sure that you paid $33,000 for 2022. And although technically, you should be able to spread that out evenly over the 4 quarters, you would be best to pay as much earlier in the year as you can. Also, be sure you make the payment deadlines. Like the first quarter payment is due on April 18th. Be sure to pay it by this Wednesday, otherwise it is considered late.
You can also increase your husbands withholdings by having an additional amount withheld or having him change his W4 to Married but withhold at the higher rate. His employer probably didn't under withhold for his pay, but when you combine his pay with yours then it wasn't enough.
