My employer hasn’t been withholding any federal tax

So I just realized that for at least the last 5 months my employer hasn't been taking any federal taxes out of my paycheck. I now owe the government over $2000 dollars in back taxes. On my W2 it shows that I have only payed $69 in total for a full year of full time work. I've been searching for some kind of options but as far as I've found you are ultimaley responsible for assuring you're paying enough taxes for the year regardless of what your employer does or doesn't do. Kind of just a rant but also if anyone has some experience with this stuff, please help cause I can't sleep knowing I probably won't make rent because of this situation.
