Federal Tax Exempt
We have an employee who requested Exempt on their W-4. I've never had to deal with this in NetSuite before.
We marked Exempt in Tax Setup.
A day later we noticed this new employee had an expiring payroll item and discovered this expiring item was Federal Withholding.
Is this normal for the Fed Withholding to expire? Did the employee's selection of "Exempt" cause this?
How do we fix it or does it need to be fixed?
