Well if you swear they took out Fed taxes then everything wil be alright. (BTW that was sarcasm)

Are you that young? Look at your paystubs to see if they took out taxes. If they did, get your employer to issue a corrected W-2. If they didn't, plan on paying those taxes and maybe a penalty for not paying any taxes during the year.

Also correct your current witholding status with your current employer.

BTW exempt means that for whatever reason you will not owe any taxes for the income earned that that w-4 concerns.
