Income tax, as appropriate by your W-2 filing and FICA (which is really a retirement savings or insurance). But just look at your check stub...they are all identified exactly...ask your payroll provider if you have questions.
Ask your payroll provider why they didn't withhold.
No. Federal taxes are never deductible from Federal taxes! (Even if you paid them the year they were due. Certainly paying them in a later year won't produce a benefit).
The ONLY federal tax that has a limit on it is the Social Security Tax - which has a ceiling of about $106,000 and is indexed each year for inflation. www.IRS.Gov has information regarding the limits.
Yes..deducted on Fed, not state (actually, you do Fed first normally, so you add them back for State).
Can you still file income taxes even though no federal taxes were taken out of check?
No. In fact, you probably owe money to the government if taxes are not be deducted from your check.

Federal income tax must be paid by all people who work. The number of dependants that you claim while working will result in the amount of federal taxes that you have taken out of your check. The fewer people you claim, the larger your tax return will be the first of the year. Federal taxes go to the government to pay on interest fees for the country and other important government programs. You will have more federal taxes deducted than state taxes.
Yes. Schedule A is Itemized Deductions. The second section is Taxes You Paid. Real estate taxes on your home are deducted on line 6.
Can you still file income taxes even though no federal taxes were taken out of check?
No. But you must claim any refunds of State & local taxes that you deducted in a prior year.
Check
You do NOT have any average amount for this purpose as each taxpayers situation can be different. 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.
Consult the Federal tax instructions. There are a number of items in the closing costs that can be deducted.
