W-4 EXEMPTION ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Please check the box if you meet BOTH conditions to claim exemption
I claim exemption from withholding for 2019, and I certify that I meet both of the
following conditions for exemption.
• Last year I had a right to a refund of all federal income tax withheld because I
had no tax liability, AND
• This year I expect a refund of all federal income tax withheld because I expect
to have no tax liability.
CERTIFICATION
I, ___________________________________________, certify that, I have examined this
acknowledgment and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete
statements that I have consulted the statutes, administrative rules and other sources of law
applicable to my exemption, and I have exercised reasonable care in assuring that my claim for
exemption is valid under federal law. In the event this exemption is disallowed, I accept full
responsibility for the payment of any penalty and fees, including any accrued interest.
