What if an employee has not had any federal or state taxes withheld according to their W-2?
Review the employee’s Form W-4 to determine whether it was completed. If an employee claimed to be exempt from federal / state withholding, then no taxes would be withheld. If the employee’s earnings are under a certain threshold, they may not have been subject to federal or state withholding taxes. They may change their Form W-4 Employee Withholding Allowance Certificate to adjust federal and state withholdings and exemptions.
