The individual taxpayer had to furnish the correct information to the employer on the IRS FORM W-4 for each year and should go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for WITHHOLDING CALCULATOR to make sure that the correct amounts that are being withheld will be enough to get a amount of refund rather than having to send a payment for an amount that is owed after the 1040 income tax return is completed correctly.

Is your employer responsible for taxing you corectly?

Your employer is responsible for collecting the correct amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes. Your employer is also responsible for withholding the amount that should be withheld based on the W-4 form that you filled out and gave him. You control the amount to be withheld based on what you put down on the W-4 form. This is rarely, if ever, the actual amount of tax you owe. If the withholding is not enough to cover the taxes you owe or if the employer fails to withhold taxes, you are still responsible for paying them directly to the government.
