Federal tax

By Terry Savage on February 09, 2022 | Social Security

Hi Terry, I was laid off last year and took a small job. I had state and ssn taken, but when I got my W2, it shows 0.00 for federal taken out. Why would this be? I made just under 3500.00 . Thanks for your input.

Terry Says

I think you need to contact your employer and ask them to issue a corrected W-2 form. If they took those other tax deductions, they certainly must have withheld federal taxes. If they give you the run-around, tell them you’re reporting this to the IRS! That should get their attention.
