Pretty sure there's a box you can check that more or less says "tax exempt". Had a co-worker a few years back who's onboarding paperwork got fucked up and he got a fat tax bill come January. Turns out HR accidentally marked him as tax exempt when he got hired and he never checked his paystubs (they're behind a shitty payroll app) or just didn't notice he wasn't paying tax

That happened to me. I have several "jobs" at my job and they get paid through different entities. I went through the stupid charts and figured out all the withholding amounts and thought I had it right, but the bookkeeper accidentally reported that I have three kids (I have no kids) and then I surprise owed six grand.

That's basically what happened to his wife a few years later lol. She started a job and they pooched her dependents, company got aquired october,- novemberish and around mid December they swapped all their payroll over to the new company. New payroll department corrected the error and she wound up owing like 4 or 5k in January. They're not big fans of taxes now haha
