<prompt> Human: Hello everyone. I am a little embarrassed to post this. I had a job where I can go online and adjust the number I can claim anytime during the year. It started out I would only claim 9 whenever I would get a third pay check in the same month. After awhile, I needed to have more money going into my account so I would leave the amount I would claim at 9 for months. Not having federal withholding come out would give me an extra much needed few hundred dollars evey pay period. I started doing this in early 2015 due to having to take care of mother and needing to pay my bills. I fell behind and ended up having my home go into foreclosure in 2016. I couldnt afford to live alone and pay for my ex girlfriends car I was stuck with, so I claimed 9 all of 2017. I feel like the IRS is going to contact me soon. I never made more than 38,000 per year. How much trouble am I in?  <response>: Probably quite a mess. Good luck.
