I marked a 0 on my original W4 plus requested $10 from every paycheck be added to my tax withheld when I first became their employee in February 2017. They followed this. In 2018, I was not asked to fill out a new W4. I was not notified of any changes. And the IRS never notified me of under average amount being withheld, which is what I read is supposed to happen sometime during the first few months.
Yeah, it's my fault for not reading the online paystubs my employer has switched across 3 different websites. And I still owe the money. But my employer is supposed to use my most current W4 or use the standard deduction, which would be the highest. How the hell did they even figure up $3 per paycheck to take out last year? And why didn't the IRS notify me I was underpaying since that's their whole deal every quarter? Wouldn't they also have notified my employer?
