I'm a tax accountant. You're still responsible for the taxes since the tax pertains to individuals (not a business entity tax). However, your employer is responsible for complying with withholding requirements and it seems like they didn't fully comply here. This means they could be subject to penalty. Since the amount at issue is so small, I don't think anything will happen. If this is a prevalent issue, the state/city would penalize the employer and you could request a penalty abatement to the extent that you ended up being subjected to an underpayment penalty.
