Do I need anything on line 16 of form 8379

Line 16. Personal exemptions are reduced to zero for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026. 

For tax years beginning during this period, enter -0- on line 16. For tax years prior to 2018, allocate the exemptions claimed on your joint return to the spouse who would have claimed them if separate returns had been filed. Enter whole numbers only. For example, you can’t allocate 3 exemptions by giving 1.5 exemptions to each spouse
