All I'm telling you is that you&must to be&PREPARED.


How will you defend yourself if they fine you the $5,000 and levy your pay?





I am on the east coast. Thank you for pointing out to me the possible dangers of signing a W-4 exempt. If one does not sign the forms, then one is not within their jurisdiction are they?
