It is not recommended. If you W2 form is lost the employer can change your withholding to single with no deductions. The employee should be notified so an adjustment can be made.
An employer that knows that an error is made may have to change something.
For example if an employee claims that last year he did not make enough to pay taxes and predicts that this year he will not have to pay taxes and starts making enough that he WILL have to pay taxes then the employer must start withholding taxes.

Can an employer change federal tax exemptions without permission?
Your employer is required to withhold payroll taxes based on the W-4 you fill out and sign indicating how many allowances you are claiming plus any additional dollar amount you want withheld or whether your are exempt from income tax withholding. You may complete a new W-4 any time your tax situation changes and you need to change your income tax withholdings. Once you submit the new W-4 to your employer, it should not take more than 1 payroll cycle for the employer to begin using the new allowances. You may also want to prepare a separate W-4-equivalent for your state if you are subject to state tax. For example, California's W-4-equivalent is Form DE 4. Your employer should not change your federal income tax withholding allowances without written notification from you (or the IRS, which is rare) to do so.

Incorrect federal taxes were taken out of my paycheck this year. Im being told i cannot get that money back because they have already reported it to the IRS is this correct?
If your employer overwithheld taxes from your wages, change your W4 to have less withheld until you are where you want to be. Your employer could get your withholding back by filing corrected Forms 941, but they are a major pain and I'm sure they don't want to do it. If the incorrect withholding is for 2007, it is on your W2 and will be rebated when you file your income tax return.
