Are you completing a W-4 for your employer? No such question is asked in the program.

Yes I am trying to fill M-4 form.
Where could I find help regarding this?

What is an M-4? Are you working on something for Canada? This is the U.S. site.

Probably yes, although you might want to check the MAss tax web site for a full list of instructions for the M-4. The exemption for your spouse would normally be allowed UNLESS you were in an unusual situation such as, newly married their parents want to claim the spouse as an exemption for one more year, or you were married filing separately with your spouse being employed.
