The Tax Withholding Estimator on the IRS web site does not ask those questions. It sounds like you are using some other withholding estimator. Click this link to go to the Tax Withholding Estimator on the IRS web site. It asks you how many jobs you and your spouse have. It starts off with one job. If you leave it at one job, you just enter the information for your husband's job.
But it's too late to change your husband's withholding for 2023, and the Tax Withholding Estimator won't work for 2024 until January. When you go through it in January, it will tell you exactly what to put on your W-4. It will even let you download a W-4 form already filled out for you. It has a slider that lets you select the refund amount that you want. It will let you go down to zero refund. I'm not sure whether it lets you select an amount to owe, and I can't test it right now because it just says that it's too late to adjust your withholding for 2023.
I don't see where the paper form assumes two incomes. Where do you see that? Are you looking at the actual IRS form for 2024? Here is a link to the IRS Form W-4 for 2024. Read the instructions on the form carefully.
