I'm not getting federal taxes taken out of my paychecks and don't know what to do!!!?

I'm married, mother of 4 kids, i work about 20hrs a week... I'm not getting federal taxes taken out of my check. i already asked my boss 3 times to fix it went as far as filling out w-4 again,and i never didn't marked excempt... i am scared i will have to pay taxes cause i didn't get taxes taken out... can anyone help me by advising me what to do It depends on how much money you made. With four kids, I assume you probably filled out your W-4 as married and 5 or 6 exemptions. With that many exemptions, you have to make a pretty good amount of money to have any tax withheld because with that many tax deductions, you won't have much of a tax bill at year end.

You could always change your W-4 to declare less allowances than you entitled to, or you could have a fixed amount per check taken out in addition to the zero calculated amount, if those would make you feel better.

You can see how much difference it makes by entering your info into the calculator at http://www.paycheckcity.com/ and trying different W-4 allowances.
I'm assuming you are not having any federal taxes, Social Security or Medicare taxes withheld.

Are you an employee working on a W-2 or a independent contractor working on 1099? It seems like he or she is treating you like a independent contractor by not taking out taxes. However, if he or she wants you to fill out a W-4, it seems like it is an employee situation not an independent contractor.

I would go back to your boss and request a clarification. Are you an employee or an independent contractor? If you are an employee, your employer should be deducting your taxes. If you are an independent contractor, you will need to seek advise from a tax adviser; you could look for an Enrolled Agent or a CPA.

If you are an independent contractor, the good news is you will be able to deduct your business related expenses. The bad news is you will have to spend some time on accounting and tax preparation.

Either way, please don't stress over it too much. You will be able to work it out.

4 kids 2 adults that is 6 dependents if you claim all of you then you don't make enough money
Goes like this Gross Pay 200-210 weekly 0 dependents they take $5.00 for Fed. if you claim 1 they take 0 amount

The more you claim during the year the less the government get.
But at the end of the year he gets his share.

You just are not making enough money to have federal income tax withheld (I'm assuming you are having SS/Medicare taxes withheld).

Go to www.irs.gov then forms and publications, look for pub 15 and open it. Go to around page 36 or there abouts. There you will see the withholding tables.

If you are having Social Security and Medicare withheld, it means you are not earning enough to have income tax withheld. In fact, you may be entitled to and advance on earned income credit. You can give your employer Form W-5 and start getting it now instead of waiting until next year.
