Why Does My W2 Not Have Federal Income Tax Withheld?

If your W-2 shows no federal income tax withheld, it's primarily due to how you completed your Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate. You likely claimed "Exempt" from withholding, signaling to your employer that you expect to have no federal income tax liability for the year. This status is typically for individuals who had no tax liability in the prior year and anticipate none in the current year. Another frequent reason is that your gross income for the year, especially if you worked part-time, seasonally, or for a brief period, fell below the standard deduction and any applicable tax credits. Payroll systems calculate withholding based on your W-4 and estimated annualized earnings; if your projected taxable income is zero or very low, the system correctly withholds nothing. It's important to review your W-4 annually to ensure it accurately reflects your tax situation.
