If only one spouse uses the new form 2020 W-4 and you file jointly, you have the risk that your tax withheld could be either too high or too low.

If the withholdings are too high, then you will have a larger refund at tax time (and lower take-home paychecks during the year).

If the withholdings are too low, you could incur a penalty for underpayment at tax time.

@gdpaull , having gone through your post and the response from @MinhT1 , while I agree with her answer , I would like to add  a little.  If your  spouse is a wage earner, she MUST file a W-4 -- required for each wage earner.  What  you can do is to adjust the total taxes withheld-- i.e. the  two W-4s should be sufficient to cover the total wages  for the year ( each pay period ).  IRS has a calculator  for this  -- see https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator

What law requires is that the expected tax liability be withheld-- however people often allow the employer to withhold more , so as to get a refund at the time of filing.

Note that if your spouse does not file a W-4 with her employer, then the employer is obligated to withhold  as if she was single ( generally leading to higher refund at filing but less cash during the year )

Has the deadline changed for filing an 1120s due to the Corona virus? Is it still September 15th? Thanks.
