Hello @Lbarnett0818
Filling out the W-4 only tells your employer how much money to withhold from your paycheck on the federal end. You fill it out as accurately as possible and that should make sure the amount withheld is close enough to what is needed for the federal return.
Step 3 of W-4 form Claim Dependent and other credits has two parts: depending on the age of children you will either claim $2,000 per dependent or $500 per dependent.
If you feel your employer is not withholding enough, you can always add extra withholding in Step 4 under line 4c.
