What your claim on your W-4 form just determines your withholding.  Try this tool:

Your actual tax return is filed Married Joint, and claiming the child as a dependent.

On your W-4, or on your tax return?

In IRS gobbledygook, you claim 1 dependent, but 3 "exemptions". One exemption for you, one for your spouse, and one for each of your dependents. Neither your spouse or yourself is a "dependent".
