<prompt> Human: In 2012 I was an intern at a company. I put all zeroes for my taxes and was exempt from federal taxes because I didnt make much money. Fast forward to 2014 and I started working there full time. They simply whited out the date on my old tax forms and switched it to 2014. Now after a year they didnt take out any taxes, so I now owe 1200. I do not have 1200 to just pay in a lump sum. Do I have any recourse? How long do I have to pay? Can I just have it taken out of next years return? Thanks for your help  <response>: You can get on an IRS payment plan, but its your responsibility to check your pay stubs regardless of your W4. Unfortunately youre stuck with the bill since its money you would have paid anyway.Remember, you have to submit a new W4 if you want your withholdings to change. No one is typically going to ask you each year.
