Re: Federal Taxes aren’t being taken out of my checks

Federal Taxes aren’t being taken out of my checks

Does anyone know why federal taxes aren’t being taken from all of my paychecks? There has been one check out of 4 so far for the year of 2021 that has had federal taxes taken out. But that’s it. Why??? I do not claim exempt from federal tax withholding.... I’m so confused!!! I don’t want to owe at tax time next year!!!

You should be asking your employer. Did you fill out a W-4 at work that tells the employer how much you want withheld from your paychecks?

Yes, you have to. I even fixed my w4 recently. I called HR to talk to payroll and they said this has been happening to other people too and they aren’t sure why.
