Plenty of times for various reasons. It works fine.

The irs never sees your w4. It’s just between you and your employer. Put whatever you want on it just understand what not having any federal withholding will do to your tax liability.

You mean the paying or refund for filings?

You have to be close in your withholding or estimated quarterly payments, or you could owe a penalty in addition to the tax.

Personally I think it should all be paid on April 15.
That way people would be against the income tax.

Having nothing withheld from your paycheck will put you in a position to owe a lot come April 15.

The money is always due by April 15. You can file an extension to give
You more time to prepare your tax return, but the money is always due April 15th.

Just to clarify


“Avoid a penalty
You may avoid the Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals Penalty if:

Your filed tax return shows you owe less than $1,000 or
You paid at least 90% of the tax shown on the return for the taxable year or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever amount is less. If your adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2023 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your filing status for 2024 is married filing separately), substitute 110% for 100%.
The IRS urges taxpayers to check into their options to avoid these penalties.”
