Aaron qualified for an exemption from withholding in 2024. He also qualifies for an exemption from withholding for 2025. How does he inform his employer?
He can inform his employer by letter of his exemption.
He must complete Step 1 only of Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate.
He must submit Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate, and write "Exempt" on the form in the space below Step 4(c) and complete Steps 1(a), 1(b), and Step 5.
Since he already qualified in 2024, no further action is required on his part.

He must submit a new Form W-4, write "Exempt" in the space below Step 4(c), and complete Steps 1(a), 1(b) (name and SSN) and Step 5 (signature and date).

(If he previously claimed exempt, he still must give the employer a new W-4 claiming "Exempt" for 2025 — generally by Feb 15 of the year — otherwise the employer must begin withholding.)
