Unless your employer’s payroll department is totally brain dead, they will tell you “Nice try, NO cookie,” and hand you a W4 and tell you to complete it and sign it. They are required by law to do this, and a homebrew exemption certificate is not going to fly.
If you persist, they will do one of the following: terminate you on the spot as being more trouble than you could possibly be worth, or file you as Single and 0 exemptions, which means you will get the maximum taken out of each pay check. This too is in the regulations, that if an employee either refuses or fails to file a W4 then it shall be entered at Single and 0,
Bear in mind that employers are subject to fine if they do not have W4's from all employees, so they will insist on it being done and done properly. It is not voluntary.
