To have the most federal taxes withheld from your paycheck, you can adjust your W-4 form to indicate a lower number of allowances or request an additional amount to be withheld. This will result in a higher amount of taxes being taken out of your paycheck each pay period.
To have the most taxes taken out of your paycheck, you can adjust your withholding allowances on your W-4 form to indicate that you have more dependents or deductions than you actually do. This will result in a higher amount of taxes being withheld from your paycheck.
The amount of taxes taken out of your paycheck depends on your income level and tax bracket. Generally, federal income tax is the largest deduction from most people's paychecks.
First of course, it depends on which component of the taxes withheld you mean. Federal income Tax withholding is paid over to the Federal Gov't, essentially into an account with your ID #, as an estimated payment toward the tax you will ultimately pay for the period...which is determined when you file your return (normally by 4/15 of the next year). If this withheld amount is too little, you pay the extra, or too much, you get it refunded. Essentially the same with most other withholdings...but the type of tax determines where that account is and what it is used for. (So, for a State if for a State income tax).
They are usually not subject to Income Taxes, but may be subject to Estate Taxes. It would be VERY unusual for income taxes to be due. Federal estate taxes are not an issue if you are of modest means, but your state may have estate, inheritance, or death taxes that could impact most anyone.
The percentage of wages withheld for taxes by the federal government varies depending on marital status, annual income, deductions, and exemptions. The amount withheld per pay period is at your disposal, you can choose to claim yourself as a dependent, and have a lower percentage withheld, or claim zero and have the income tax withheld at a higher percentage. A benefit of claiming zero is you most likely will not end up owing at the end of the year, and many end up with a sizable refund. The best way to figure out what to claim is to figure out using an annual chart released by the IRS what your federal tax for the year will be, and divide it among pay periods. The Federal Tax Rate schedule can be found on IRS.gov, and will outline the minimum tax for that bracket, as well as the percent at which the remaining income is taxed. For example, if you are married with no children, and you and your spouse file jointly, earning between $15,100 and $61,300, you will automatically be taxed $1,510 plus 15% of the amount over $15,100. The higher the income, the higher both the standard tax for that bracket, and the percentage for earned income over that amount, will be. It depends on many, many things...not the least of which is what you consider tax. Many people group all their withholdings as a type of tax, but many may not be. Workers Comp, Unemployment, even FICA are all really more an insurance payment than a withholding against an income tax. The amount of tax withheld also depends on may things...obviously which state (or even city) your in, the amount of income your projected on earning over the year, (which helps determine your tax bracket and the percent that may be needed), as well as your filing status, number of dependents and other deductions. All these things can be adjusted for your circumstances by properly and completely filling out (or changing) the Form W-4 all employers ask you to. Finally, there are a number of different legal ways for the payroll provider to calculate certain aspects of the amount to withhold...but overall they make only a small difference. Remember, anything withheld is just being done as an estimated installment payment toward whatever tax, if any, you do ultimately owe. If too much is withheld, it is refunded. (Too little, and you could pay a penalty). Again, adjusting your W-4 is the way to correct for any of these circumstances.
It will depend on where you reside as to what taxes are withheld. Federal Withholding taxes, FICA taxes, and Medicare taxes are the federal taxes that are withheld. Most people will also be effected by State taxes and some will even have to pay city or county income taxes along with the other taxes.

Most paystubs include the Year-To-Date totals of taxes paid. If not, you will have to wait for your W-2 wage statement to arrive. By federal law, these must be mailed by each employer by the 31st of January each year.
No. Most people have a percentage of their income withheld for taxes.
The amount of money withheld from a paycheck depends on your selection on your W-4 that you give your employer. The most will come out if you select 0.
FICA taxes, which include Social Security and Medicare taxes, are withheld from earnings in most cases. They are not deductible on a federal tax return. You will only see some of that money again when you collect Social Security or Medicare.
It means your gross income minus the net tax deductions, the tax deductions as federal income taxes, state taxes, Fica, medicare, SUI/SDI. Other taxes are not included, such as, life insurance, charity, or debts that are taken automatic from your paycheck.
Only under very limited circumstances if, for some reason, you are qualified to be exempt from withholding taxes. Under most circumstances, no. The company is required to withhold taxes and report employee earnings.
In most states, yes. Since many states have a lower filing requirement than the federal government, this is not uncommon. Also, if you had state tax withheld but not federal tax but are otherwise below the filing threshold, you might want to do this. Note however that most states base their income taxes on your federal tax in some way, so you are probably going to have to fill out a federal tax form in order to calculate your state taxes even if you are not required to file it.

Taxes are taken out of a paycheck depending on a formula issued by the internal revenue service. It depends on the size of the paycheck. Being in high school has nothing to do with it. Frequently, high school students work for brief periods of time so they will have most or al of their taxes refunded when they fill out a return.
