You can claim either 0 or 1 on your W-4. It won't create problems with the IRS, it will just determine how much you'll get back on your tax return next year. If you claim 0, you will get less back on paychecks and more back on your tax refund.
Failure to provide a Form W-8BEN when requested may lead to withholding at the foreign-person withholding rate of 30% or the backup withholding rate under section 3406.
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.
Contact Your Employer's Payroll Department: Reach out to your HR or payroll department to explain the situation. They may be able to correct the withholding on their end and issue a refund for the incorrectly withheld taxes.
Individuals who have insufficient income tax withholding are subject to penalties. The IRS will be making more effective use of information contained in its records along with information reported on Form W-2 wage statements to ensure that employees have enough federal income tax withheld.
Contact the IRS: - If your employer does not resolve the issue, contact the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040. Explain your situation and provide any documentation you have. The IRS may be able to provide guidance and investigate the matter. Consider Legal Action:
First, I recommend reaching out to your employer's human resources or payroll department immediately. Inform them about the error in your W-4 form and the subsequent over-withholding of federal taxes. They should be able to assist you in rectifying the situation.
Penalty amount The frivolous return penalty is $5,000, per occurrence. The penalty will not apply if you file a valid return or withdraw the amended return within 30 days of our Frivolous Return Notice.

If you file a return and it's fraudulent, the penalty is 75% of the underpayment. Any willful attempt to evade or defeat taxes is a felony. Penalties for tax fraud of this kind can be up to $100,000 ($500,000 for a corporation) or up to five years in prison.
