Non Exempt has nothing to do with taxes. It has to do with the type of wage you earn under the Fair Labor Standards Act. An "Exempt" employee is not due overtime pay for working more than 40 hours a week. A "Non-Exempt" employee is entitled to overtime for working more than 40 hours a week. Check out this site and look up FLSA: http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/

You are not exempt from taxes. If you made less than $5700 last year you shouldn't have owed anything in federal taxes. File a tax return to get that money back. There are also deductions for tuition payments that may lower your tax bill. Personal Allowances is how many deductions you expect to claim on your taxes. The higher it is, the less tax you pay through payroll. Note that this has no effect on how much you actually owe. You can set it to whatever you want. But if you don't pay enough this way you will have to pay the rest when you file AND you might owe a penalty. If your parents claim you as a dependent, put 1. Otherwise put 2. Increase that number if your job isn't going to run for the whole year (their math assumes you'll earn at a constant rate all year). This should result in the correct amount of tax being withheld.

As mentioned before, the portion of the salary for the military that is related to combat pay is exempt from tax. Also, if you are a member of the clergy, your church or religious organization can provide you with a housing allowance that is exempt from tax as well. Other than that, any form of compensation you receive is subject to income tax.
When your job is labeled "non exempt", that means you are eligible to receive overtime pay, if you work overtime. Most "white collar" positions are considered "exempt", that means the employer makes the same straight pay, or salary, regardless of whether the employee works 40 hours, or 80 hours a week.

Non-exempt means you are paid hourly and are eligible for overtime pay. Exempt means you receive a salary and the number of hours work does not change your pay. It have nothing to do with income tax.

Non exempt means that you DO get overtime pay and that you are on an hourly rate.
FYI Military Combat pay is not taxable. Currently serving persons in IRAQ and Afganistan are not taxed.

It's something totally different, and doesn't mean that you're exempt from taxes. It means that you are not exempt from the wage and hour law that requires overtime pay.

You can be exempt from taxes for 6 months but then you have to have taxes taken out for six months.So jobs will allow you to do this.

yep, my husband is tax free when he is on deployment in Iraq, or in waters in the "war zone".
he gets all kinds of other pay with that, but it's all tax free.

I believe that religious and charitable organizations are tax exempt.
