How do you file exempt on your taxes?
Q. im 18, have no dependents, no one can claim me, and i make 19000 a year. i want to claim exempt, and i know that all i have to do is write so on the bottom of the form. but am i able to do so? does anyone know the income limits to file exempt? and if you do file exempt, do you still get a w-2 form at the beginning every year or how do you then, file your taxes when you are exempt?? please help!
Asked by atlantasedeno - Fri Mar 23 16:08:13 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Some answers have noted that claiming exempt on your W-4 does not mean you don't have to file and pay taxes. That is technically correct, but if you earn enough to be required to file a tax return (and you do), you can't legally claim exempt. Claiming exempt IS claiming your will have ZERO tax liability.
