<prompt> Human: Hello, friends of PF. This is a weird one, well.. to me, I dont know how often this happens, first of all, I know Im responsible for this, I shouldve caught the mistake and I bear ultimate responsibility. Im also full aware that the taxes I owe, is based off of my income and that I will ultimately have to pay them. I know Ive been irresponsible and once again, I shouldve caught it.The CPA for the company I work for messed up my taxes. They have not withheld taxes from my paycheck at all. I am an employee of the company and this has been double checked by our current HR not the same one as when I started, all my paperwork is in fact correct and Ive asked them to withheld a low amount on top of what Taxes they are supposed to withhold. This to be in the safe-zone as I hate dealing with these things.Unfortunately the CPA has somehow messed this up and I recently caught it by actually checking my paycheck. I will owe about 9000 in taxes. I dont know what to do, how to pay it or if I have any options other than taking a loan.Has anyone experienced anything similar?Assistant: Just FYI, its your company that is at fault. Not the CPA. Its your companys duty to withhold your taxes. Yes they can hire a CPA to assist but ultimately its the companys responsibility.Human: Interesting. The company I work for use a Payroll Service outside of our company. Whos at fault?I dont want to get fired obviously, and wouldnt challenge my company.Assistant: Did you submit a W-4 when you started? If so what did you put on it? If no, why not?Human: I did, and everything was right on my end, but when inputing the info, they messed up, I put that I wanted them to withhold 21 dollars on top of whatever state tax, and they put me down as 21 exemptions  <response>: Good lord
