Yes the new W4 is confusing but the good news is there is a section which pertains to your actual situation, 2 persons and 2 jobs.
Pay attention to step 2, where you have choices as to which will give you the most accurate withholding and choose the one that fits your situation. Also in step 4 , you can choose to have extra withholding if you want more to be withheld as a method of forced savings to get a refund.
Turbotax has a calculator which can help you estimate your withholding so that you do not have an amount due at the end of the year.
Hope this help clarify the new W4 for you!

I am trying to use the calculator provided, but it's asking for wages so far in 2024. I'm assuming this is supposed to be 2025? Or am I doing it wrong?
No, you are correct. The calculator will be updated to reflect the correct year shortly, but your information entered will estimate your W-4 for 2025. You can also use this tax withholding calculator from the IRS.
