I'm sorry, but no one in this forum would have access to that information.

You'd need to contact your HR department (or employer) directly (or maybe look at your pay stub) to see if the proper taxes are being withheld.

the IRS does give a hoot about your W-4. The IRS does not get a copy. it is completed by you to give to your employer to calculate withholding. exemptions claimed can differ from what is done when the tax return is prepared. you sign the W-4 under penalties of perjury. its ok to claim fewer that what your entitled to.

if you claim too few, you'll probably get a refund. claim to many and you might owe and there might be a penalty for underpayment of tax.

claim exempt when your not or way more exemptions than what you really entitled to is when a problem could occur.
