Can an employer change your w4 without your consent.

I got a bonus in 2019 and they didn’t take federal tax’s out and were supposed to change it my regular pay back to taking the tax out but they did not for a whole year I only found out when I got my w2 and it said tax block. I got a raise so i never looked at my pay stubs because I got direct deposit and when ask her about it they said I was skipped I never gave them permission to change anything is this legal.

Is there a way for me to get money owed to the IRS forgiven?

I filled out my w4 incorrectly and I did not 0 out my withholdings for a few years. I changed it this year, but I still owe money on prior years. I was told I did not have to fill out my 2016 taxes until this year but my tax prepare but when I contacted the IRS I was informed that was untrue. I'm about to submit my 2016 tax return. I already owe $4,910.05 and after I submit my 2016 forms, I know that number will be atleast double. I make only $38,900. These payments will hurt me really bad financially. Do I have any alternatives that can help me?

Is this, Employee misclassification question for labor attorney or tax attorney?

I know some one who worked a lawn business for cash for three years. His employer according to him never took taxes out on him at all. Employee found out that he is actually a partner by design of his employment and now owes taxes for three years. Would employee have a good case to win and sue his employer for this. For if employee knew he would be treated as partner his taxes would have been payed correctly even if employer never paid his taxes on cash.

My employer changed my tax filing status without my consent. is this legal?

Our company changed us from 1099 to w2 recently and we were using ADP for payroll. We filled out w2's and i claimed 3 dependents at the time. shortly after i went into the ADP portal and was able to change my filing status( add more dependents, take away dependents, file exempt, ect. I changed my filing status to exempt and have been that way for months. A couple weeks ago we changed payroll companies and instead of transferring the changes we made or having us fill out new w2's they used the original w2 for we filled out when the changed us from 1099. So instead of being exempt they started taking out taxes. the changes to my filing status was reverted back without my consent. Is this legal?
