W4s and taxes...

[cpals]

My employer is having me fill out a w4 for this year again even though I filled one out for last year. I always thought you only had to fill it out again if you wanted to change it... am I wrong?

Just wondering...

An employee must submit a Form W-4 to the employer each year by February 15th to claim exemption from withholding. If the employee does not provide a new Form W-4, the employer must withhold tax as if the employee were single with zero withholding allowances.
