Exemption from withholding An employee can also use Form W-4 to tell you not to withhold any federal income tax. To qualify for this exempt status, the employee must have had no tax liability for the previous year and must expect to have no tax liability for the current year.

To claim exempt, write EXEMPT under line 4c. You may claim EXEMPT from withholding if: o Last year you had a right to a full refund of All federal tax income and o This year you expect a full refund of ALL federal income tax. NOTE: if you claim EXEMPT you must complete a new W-4 annually in February.

How to claim exempt status on a W-4. To claim an exemption, you must complete only lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 and sign the form to validate it. (In Box 7, write “EXEMPT”. Writing this will guarantee that withholdings are not taken from your future paychecks.)

Note: The W-4 form 2024 steps are the same as the W-4 form 2025 steps. Step 1: Enter your personal information. Step 2: Account for all jobs you and your spouse have. Step 3: Claim your children and other dependents. Step 4: Make other adjustments. Step 5: Sign and date your form.

To claim exemption from income tax withholding, you must file one of the following with your employer: Form IT-2104-E, Certificate of Exemption from Withholding. Form IT-2104-IND, New York State Certificate of Exemption from Withholding.

Step 3: Claim Dependents Your number of qualifying children under age 17 multiplied by $2,000 will go into the first box. The number of other dependents multiplied by $500 will go in the second box.

Claiming exempt from withholding on your taxes is generally only appropriate if you meet specific criteria. If you claim exempt and later find that you owe taxes at the end of the year, you could face penalties and interest on any unpaid taxes.

If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines that you do not have enough federal income tax withheld, they will instruct your employer to increase your withholding tax amount. This instruction, done through a Lock-in Letter from the IRS, specifies the withholding arrangement permitted for you.

Ing to the IRS Tax Topic 751 on withholding, to claim exempt, you must have had no federal income tax liability last year and expect to have no federal income tax liability this year.
