Where does the employer get the information used to determine the amount of federal income tax to withhold from employees earnings?
From the IRS.

There are also charts for certain types of work, such as agriculture. If you use this information to figure out if your employer is withholding the correct amount, don't forget to take into consideration any pretax benefits you have, such as a flexible spending account, which are subtracted before calculating tax. States also provide similar instructions or pay charts for employers to determine how much state tax to withhold.
