Federal Withholding not calculating correctly for those who have dependents on line 3 of the new W4

Question

I am comparing SAGE calculations along with the excel calculator the IRS put out in publication 15. The only one that does not calculate correctly is the employee claiming dependents.

There is an error in SAGE regarding the new w4 and line 3. They are working on a patch. Here is the KB they sent me today 1/8/2020. 
 Federal Withholding tax is not calculating correctly for employees who use Dependent amounts on the 2020 W-4 
 I can't find the link for the update 2 but if you put "18.4.1 update 2" in the search on Knowledgebase it will show up.
