The smartest thing to do would be to contact your payroll department and/or human resources department to assist you with this. If they cannot or are not willing to, ask the person who prepared your tax return the previous year for assistance. If you have never filed a tax return and your employer cannot help you, you should contact the IRS for assistance.
How much is being taken out of your paycheck in taxes
A paycheck is the money received when working a business. The paycheck will include the amount they have earned after taxes have been taken out.

There is a cool calculator on the IRS website that explains how to figure this out. Here's a blog post also going into detail, along with a link to the IRS.gov calculator. http://taxconsultant4u.com/2008/09/10/withholding-the-correct-amount-of-tax-from-your-paycheck/ Hope that helps!

You can request that your entire paycheck be withheld if you choose. However, the government is not a bank and is not interested in sending you huge checks in the mail at the end of the year. If you give the government more than required, you could get hit with a fine. I'm not sure I understand what your asking....and I suspect you really don't have much of the topic either. You may have 100% of your pay withheld, which may be what would be right, or still too little, if you or your spouse have earnings from other sources that aren't having withholding taken for example. I suspect your trying to ask can you have nothing withheld.... Basically, you can have any amount withheld, high or low, with reason. Many people, (anyone self employed or an independent contractor, etc.), do not have any withholding taken, but they still make regular estimated payments on the future liability. Not having enough withholding taken to qualify as an adequate estimated quarterly payment for the tax that is ultimately due, will mean you will pay substantial penalties and interest (due it intentionally and your beginning to get into the criminal realm), and pay much more than you would have.

Enough. This ain't Texas. But looking at my latest paycheck, 4.65 percent went to city and state. That's with 2 allowances. Then there's the 8.875 percent sales tax.
You NEVER do have any deductions for federal taxes or other items from your net take home paycheck when it is issued to you. The net amount that is on the paycheck that you have in your hand is your net pay for the pay period after all of the federal taxes and other necessary withholding amounts have been withheld from your gross earnings by your employer payroll department. You should get the information from your employer payroll department if you really need to know the correct numbers or amount that should be deducted from your gross earnings not from your paycheck.
