Not withholding federal taxes is usually a mistake by the employer. In some situations, taxes might have actually been withheld but the person was given the wrong W-2. In this case, the employer is required to issue a corrected W-2. If the employer made a mistake, the employee should contact them.
There are six main reasons why your paycheck didn't get income tax withheld: • You didn’t earn enough money: Because of some recent changes in the W-4 Employee Withholding Certificate, earnings that are too low might not have their income taxes withheld at all.
One more reason why the federal income tax was not withheld from your paycheck might be because you are exempt from paying income taxes altogether. If you are not sure whether that is the case or not, you might want to check with your employer’s tax settings and see what their status on exemptions is.
