No such thing. Withholding is simply one of the many ways to make required estimated payments through the year. If your self employed, you send it in on a different form/schedule. As there is no limi to haow much you can make, and no limit on how much tax you can pay, there is no limit to how much estimated tax you need to pay. There is a limit on FICA, but not on income tax.

A tax return is the money you receive back from the government when they calculate that you over pad on your taxes throughout the year. If taxes are automatically deducted from each paycheck, your paycheck is your net income. The government often takes more than they are supposed to receive. If you file your tax return documents on time, you will typically receive a check in the mail of the difference that you are owed. If your paychecks are given without deducting taxes, you will owe the IRS money at the end of the year.
The amount of taxes taken out in your taxes depends on the exemptions that you are allowed to claim. It can be anywhere from nothing to a couple thousand or more.
The percentage that is taken out of your paycheck depends on your exemptions and the amount of money you make. Generally, around 15% is taken out of each paycheck and held for taxes, social security and other fees.

Employees that receive a W2 from their employers usually fill out the Federal form W4 which determines the amount of federal tax taken out of each paycheck. The purpose of the form is to prevent underpayment or large overpayment of federal tax. As an alternative you can "block" federal taxes from being taken-which means having $0 per paycheck applied to federal taxes. This should only be done if you don't expect to pay federal taxes or your taxes are paid in another way (for instance through a spouse's withholding. This might also be done if the amount of tax that needs to be paid for the year is known at the start. A person could block the tax and then specify a flat amount taken out each paycheck. For instance if you pay $12000 a year in taxes and get paid once a month you could have a flat tax of $1000/month taken out. The advantage to this method is that rather than getting a refund at the end of the year you have use of the money through out the year.

No, if you're an employee, in the U.S.A., the employer is required to withhold certain taxes and pay them to the proper treasury, and give you a statement of how much was paid. If you're not paying taxes in your paycheck, or have no proof, then you can be billed for the taxes AGAIN (on anything you receive), and non-payment will get you into trouble.Better to find out immediately, perhaps by asking the employer to give you a copy of your W-2 form, showing all the taxes you have paid. They are required to give you this in January every year.
