No federal tax taken out of paycheck...what to do?
A friend of mine just found out that no federal tax was taken out all year and now owes the IRS almost $5K. In hindsight, she should've checked her paystub, but when she approached her boss, she blamed my friend saying it's because she only took 1 withholding (which is not true), then said it was the paycheck company's fault. She knows she can get on a payment plan with the IRS, but she's still really upset about how her boss handled it. Wouldn't an employer who uses Quickbooks catch an employee who didn't have a "federal tax" line on their paystub? Should she see a tax attorney?

Update - SS and Medicare was taken out properly.

It's possible for an employee not to need to have federal tax taken out, so no, the software would not flag that as an error. And if she had filed a W-4 with one allowance, and made enough money that she now owes $5K, then something would have bene deducted.

In any case, even though it sounds like her boss really handled her complaint badly, the problem is hers. She owes the money and will have to pay it. There's no point in seeing a tax attorney.

It is the responsibility of the employee to ensure that their withholding is correct. The employee tells the employer how much to withhold by filing a W-4. If the employer is not following the W-4 and not withholding taxes based on what the W-4 says, then it is still up to the employee to question it when they get their paycheck and the paystub shows no withholding.

She is responsible for ensuring that the right deductions are claimed and taken out. The IRS holds her fully accountable. That's what being an "adult" is all about.

She should contact the IRS. the company should have paid in for her medicare and SS. For now she is responsible. Contact a tax attorney as well to ensure that she doesn't get stuck with all of the 15% for SS and Medicare.

She is responsible for making sure that the right taxes are taken out of her check. If the company doesn't take them out then she can get a form and pay the taxes herself quarterly, or put the money into and escrow account and pay her taxes when she files her income tax. Right now the money she owes she can make arrangements to make payments until it is paid off. If not any refunds she gets can be taken from her automatically until it is paid off no matter how long it takes. She can even have her wages garnished.

A EN-587 form could possibly prevent the IRS from collecting, but only if its signed in conjunction with a 1049-P which has 2 cosigners. Also, you'd have to be 35 years or younger and have worked 5 jobs in the last 10 years where the total income of said jobs did not exceed 50,000 in one fiscal year, and be a permanent resident of the US for at least 15 years.

Many employers have contract laborers that they do not collect the taxes for. Your friend is responsible to see that they deduct the taxes from each and every check she receives regardless of who prepares them.
Now if the employer claimed to deduct monies from her, but failed to pay it in to the government then she has reason to see an attorney, otherwise there is no reason to.
Best to consider it a lesson well learned and I bet she'll never allow it to happen again. Sad but true!

She will be held financially liable for the tax she owes however, her employer may be contacted by the IRS regarding his payroll practices and he may be auditted. The IRS does not look kindly upon employers who do not witthold enough tax as it costs them a great deal of money to collect what is owed.

Sorry, we are all responsible for our own withholding. I have had clients who prefer to have their money work for them all year long, and then on April 15 (traditional), they come in with check books and are ready to pay their taxes owed along with any penalties for not paying estimated taxes.
For future reference: www.irs.gov, individual, withholding calculator. It will help.
Also, if your friend will withhold an extra portion this year, come tax time next year, it may eat up much of her tax liability.

Good Luck & Blessing

Sorry the only thing left to do is to pay, I've done a couple of forms like that and there is no way you can get around that. Now you need to ask for a new W-4 at work and fill out the form and give it back to your employeer so they can deduct the right amount from her check. A good way to figure the right Federal withhold for a single person is ALWAYS check the federal id more than Social security IF NOT something is wrong.

unless she signed a 1099 (sub contractor waiver) her company is responsible... get a lawyer
