You can claim exempt status from paying Federal Taxes if you believe that you are eligible. If you wish to do so, go the "My Living Allowance" page and click on "Change W-4 Elections" to claim exemption. Eligibility criteria can be found at the IRS website. Please note that if you claim exemption you will need to renew each calendar year. My AmeriCorps will send you an email to remind you update your W4.
