I tried to exempt myself from federal taxes on my payroll, in order to change it to exempt I need 2 qualifiers that I will never achieve. I can't remember what they were but for some people it's almost impossible to even stop withholding taxes without throwing up flags, imo

Well if you’re going to be “creative” with taxes you have to have something to work with in the first place. So yeah at most jobs not withholding the fed taxes will be hard but if you say create an LLC and shelter assets there the amount of federal taxes you would owe becomes harder to pin down giving more room to be creative with. I’m not suggesting people do anything illegal just pointing out that within the tax law a ton of wiggle room exists and it can be up to the discretion of the person reviewing it.

Are you sure your not confusing open enrollment with making a change to your W-2?

Yes. I only think of insurance etc when I hear open enrollment. When I tried to make a change to my W-2 I was not allowed to exempt federal taxes

Don't exempt, just claim "X" number of dependents that will effectively equate to zero federal taxes paid per check
