For income tax purposes exemptions and deductions both decrease taxable income. Deductions are based on expenses actually paid, such as mortgage interest paid or charitable contributions. An exemption is an automatic dollar amount excluded from your income. In 2014, taxpayers get $3950 exemption for themselves, their spouses and each dependent claimed on their return.
Federal taxes are the same everyplace in the country...for everyone...and vary on many factors like income level, deductions, exemptions, etc. but, the identical someone (if that ever really happens) in Calif would pay the same as some one in Ohio and all the same as someone in NY ..... except that the State taxe you pay is a deduction against your federal income....and that may be different in every state.
Presumably you mean income taxes. Basically everyone pays the same income taxes, a varying percentage of earnings dependent on their net income and situation. The occupation is irrelevant. That said, the amount of income tax actually paid depend on the actual taxable (not all income is taxable) income earned (including things like interest earned, etc), the deductions and exemptions of the recepient (things like maritial status, # of dependents, etc.), and if you consider State taxes, where they are earned or where the individual lives.
Yes. Those whose incomes and deductions work out that way do. But of course those whose income tax liabilities work out to zero don't. Everyone in the USA is liable to the same taxes regardless of religious affiliation.
Withholding is NOT a fixed amount. It is entirely under your control by how you instruct the payroll provider, (hopefully based on calcultaing what you would need in the worksheets provided), by your W-4. People with the same salary can and normally do have very different amounts withheld...based on things like other income, spouss income, investments, deductions, exemptions, retirement contributions, etc. And of course, exactly what you consider taxes is a major component...do you include Social Security/ How about unemployment? Disability? All these are more insurance premiums than tax...but maybe not to you.
Same thing as paying estimated taxes. Paying your income tax as you earn the income.
I don't know what you mean by "file the same." One possible thing you might mean: If your filing status is "married filing separately" and your spouse itemizes deductions, then you must also itemize deductions. (Technically, the rule is that your standard deduction is reduced to $0.)

The federal maximum marginal tax rate for the 2010 tax year is 35% and then you would have your state income taxes. Lottery winnings are taxed like any other income. That amount or percent of course changes with everyones personal situation, other income, expenses, deductions, exemptions, STATE (and state income tax is a deduction to Federal taxable income, so that changes may things), dependents, etc. It is fair to say that 2 people, winning the same lottery would pay different taxes.

No the stamp act is a.k.a taxes!
Gross is what is made prior to all tax deductions. Net pay is the actual amount made. For instance if your check before taxes is $500 that is your gross pay. If after taxes it is $409 that is your net pay. The same can be applied to volume.
Generally, tax is not wittheld on these payouts...although it may well be taxable...the amount of tax depends on many factors especially your other income, other deductions, exemptions, etc., etc. (No 2 people are really the same). If the amount is taxable at all requires having someone review the exact wording of how and why the payment is made. Your attorney should be able to advise you.
Gross Emoluments is not the same as Gross salary. Gross salary refers to the money the employee receives. Gross emoluments is the gross sum of all money the company spends on the employee, including training and taxes.
The same as are allowed in bankruptcy.
