Employers calculate withholding tax by referring to an employee’s Form W-4 and the IRS’s income tax withholding table to determine how much federal income taxes they should withhold from the employee’s salary or wages.

Should I claim myself as an exemption?

You can claim a personal exemption for yourself unless someone else can claim you as a dependent. Note that’s if they can claim you, not whether they actually do. If you qualify as someone else’s dependent, you can’t claim the personal exemption even if they don’t actually claim you on their return.

Do I claim myself as a dependent?

No. You cannot claim yourself as a dependent on taxes. Dependency exemptions are applicable to your qualifying dependent children and qualifying dependent relatives only. You can, however, claim a personal exemption for yourself on your return.

Why is there no federal taxes taken out of my paycheck?

If you claimed tax exemption on your W-4 form, no federal income tax is withheld from your wages. You qualify for exemption if in the previous year you had a right to a refund because you owed no federal income tax, and in the present year, you expect a refund because you do not anticipate owing any taxes.

What happens if no federal taxes are taken out of my paycheck?
