That would indicate that your wages are exempt from social security and medicare tax.  I can think of two reasons for this.  You are a church pastor or a member of a religious order that has taken a vow of poverty, or you are a student and your employer is the school where you attend.  There may be other reasons, but you will need to tell us what kind of job you have.  

 

[Edited to add]

A third reason, you are under the age of 18 and you are employed by your parents.

 

Here are some other reasons.
