Discuss with your employer.

Definitely discuss with your employer to see why no tax was withheld.  Maybe it is a mistake and they need to correct your W-2.   Or....if no tax was withheld..how did you not notice all year?   Now that it is time to prepare your tax return, it is what it is.  Make sure the W-2 is correct and then enter it as it appears.  You might end up owing tax this year.  We cannot predict for sure that you will owe since we do not know any of the amounts involved, your filing status, whether you have dependents, etc.  

 

Maybe you should prepare a new W-4 and have more tax withheld for the upcoming year.
