7.65% of your gross wages will be withheld for Social Security and Medicare taxes. How much is withheld for federal and state tax depends on what you put on your W4 forms and what state you live in.
Taxes 'withheld' refers to an employer keeping some of your pay to send to the government for taxes. If you work 40 hours at $10 per hour your pay should be $400. You will be lucky to get $300 of this. The rest of the money will be withholdings for Federal Income Tax, Social Security, Medicare, State Tax, and in some places City Tax. There may be other withholdings for health insurance, some retirement plan, life insurance, etc. but these are not taxes.
No, Social Security taxes are separate from income tax. There is no refund.

It is put in an account and when you retire it is paid back to you. To get this you have to have 40 quarters paid into it and be 67 years old. Congress soon will be working on changing the retirement age and the way you receive money.

It's either Social Security, or a combination of Social Security and Medicare. Paycheck deduction statements may combine the individual FICA deduction for Medicare and Social Security into one deduction and call it "Retire". Rest assured that it's not YOUR retirement, and you'll never see that money again.
Sometimes, people are surprised to find out that their social security benefits are taxable. For the person who may only make $30,000 a year and receive social security benefits, getting taxed on these benefits can be a huge burden. To avoid any unfortunate surprises, some tax planning is required on the part of an individual. You can prepare for any taxes on social security benefits by having a portion of your social security benefits withheld from a paycheck. There are different amounts of money you may choose to have withheld from a paycheck. You may choose to have anywhere between 7% to 25% of your benefits withheld.

is there a limit as to how much money a person on social security can accumulate
No, you cannot use a social security card to withdraw money. A social security card may be useful if you want to open a bank account, though, and you can withdraw money from that.

In most years, your employer will deduct the following from your paycheck: Social Security: 6.2% of your gross pay Medicare: 1.45% of your gross pay However, in 2011 Obama signed into a law a "payroll tax holiday" as part of the continued effort to stimulate the economy. For 2011 only, the social security tax coming out of your paycheck is 4.2% instead of 6.2%, meaning that this year you will take home more money than you would in a "normal" year. Your employer matches these amounts too -- they pay another 6.2% for social security, and another 1.45% for Medicare. Under the payroll tax holiday, only your portion of social security is reduced to 4.2% -- your employer is still paying 6.2% of your pay into social security for you.
