Thank you for the question. If you want less money taken out of your paycheck(s), you should claim all the potential dependents, depending on their age, that you are eligible to claim on your 2024 tax return on the W-4 in Step 3 on one of the W-4s, which is typically the one with the higher earning job. On the other W-4 you would not put any dependents in Step 3.
You should also in Step 1 (c) check the Married filing jointly box. You would also want to check the box in Step 2 (c) on one of the W-4s.
