So what - he still has to file a 1040, which will mean he underpaid his taxes by claiming 9 dependents, which means he'll get to pay the taxes he owes plus a penalty for underpayment. The IRS figured this one out a long time ago. |

The form is W-4 not W-2. It is up to the IRS to figure out if they have too little tax to be witheld. It is common for some employees to do that. I dont endorse it. The W-4 is btwn the IRS and employee. |

It's not really that unusual. Why do you even care? |

You don't. It's not YOUR problem. If the IRS has any issue with it, THEY will handle it automatically.
If he was underwithheld when he filed he'd owe penalties and interest for the underpayment. The IRS may also issue a Lock Letter to his employer, forcing withholding at a level determined by the IRS. This all happens automatically and the IRS is NOT in the least bit interested in hearing from you on the issue.
FYI, it's entirely possible for someone to be legally entitled to claim 9 allowances, or even a LOT more than 9. Please mind your own business, not someone else's!
And BTW, it's a W-4, NOT a W-2. As you don't even know the difference between the two, just MYOB. |

claiming 9 IS NOT Illegal - if an employee claims more than 9 or exempt, then the employer has to send in a copy of the employees w-4 to the IRS. Why do you care if someone does that - maybe they have legimate business losses from a spuses business or something and know they won't owe any tax or very little tax - if they wind up withholding too little - they will have to pay at tax return time - they aren;t cheating anyone or getting away with anything - the only people they MIGHT hurt is themselves if they withhold too little |

He can claim whatever he wants on his W4, although he will be the one to suffer when he actually files, as he will then owe. The W2 is the form the employer sends for wages and taxes, he did not claim anything on a W2. He also cannot claim people that don't exist or false social security numbers on his actual return, as the IRS will catch that. So, I am unsure what you think he illegally did. |

Don't bother. He'll essentially turn himself in when he files his tax return and owes a ton of money. If he doesn't owe, then filing 9 was OK for him. |

Actually things like this are done to modify withholding all the time. Unless you mean this person is claiming 7 children he or she does not have. Is it possible this is a second job, and more then enough taxes are taken out by the main employer?
The key is are they being paid all the taxes by April 15? That is really what they care about. If they underpaid by too much, they may end up with a penalty fee.
irs.gov is the website, and you can get contact information there where you can ask if what they are doing is illegal. |

mind your own business. he can claim 9, but it will just catch up with him later when he goes to file. he will be held accountable if he's wrong. |

It's on his W-4, and you're legally allowed to claim whatever you want on it. By putting 9 on his, it just means he'll have less taxes taken out throughout the year, and may have to pay more in taxes when he files them (or he may not, depending on his situation). He's not doing anything illegal, though. |
