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.
