My new employer of one month, I noticed federal taxes were not being removed. They said I was qualified to be exempt even though I selected non exempt. They are still denying to take out federal taxes. How do I go about this when I have always had federal taxes removed?

You have to deal with this with your employer. TurboTax can’t help. Did they explain why they think you are tax exempt?

I have several times. I am at a lost cause, that's why I came here. HR says "I quality as tax exempt due to having a dependent". I have never heard of such.

Maybe your paycheck is not big enough to have any federal withholding taken out because you have a dependent? You can put down a set amount to be taken out for it. On W4 step 4 line C, extra withholding.

Are they taking out any taxes like Social Security and Medicare? Did you fill out a W4 to tell them how much to take out like for Single or Married, etc? Maybe they are paying you as a 1099 independent contract instead of a W2 employee?

Yes, I have contacted the person under HR and asked those questions, several times. They told me I am not contract/1099. Also reached out to whom did my taxes for their opinion, they said to contact IRS if HR isn't much help. I have always filed as HOH and claimed one and put non exempt. Federal taxes have always been removed, this is the first time I've had this issue. Sadly that is why I have resorted here. It seems like no one knows what to do or heard of this situation. HR keeps telling me to put zero and then they will take out taxes. But I am a single mother so I have always put one as allowances.
