Should you replicate the exemptions and additional amount withheld on your state W4 as your federal W4 when both spouses work full time?

There is no rule that requires you to report the same amount of exemptions on your Federal and State W-4 forms. By entering zero on both of these forms, you will have a higher amount withheld from your paycheck. If you'd also like to have a higher amount withheld from your paycheck for state tax purposes, then you should also enter a zero on the state form.
You can talk to your human resources department to verify the exact amount that will be withheld for certain exemption numbers reported on Forms W-4.
