The gross amount of the winnings will be added to all of your other worldwide income on your 1040 tax form and will be subject to income taxes at your marginal tax rate.
You will get a credit on your income tax return for taxes that were withheld at the time that you received your winnings amount.
The entire amount won is taxed. The tax "withheld" - not actually paid per se, yet is an estimated deposit of the tax that will eventually be determined to be due. The actual total tax due to be paid by you on all your income may be more or less than these deposits/estimated tax, depending on your individual situation (and the accuracy of estimating both income, deductions and tax due). If the tax is more, the estimate is used as a partial payment and you pay the additional, if less the excess is refunded.
What do you do if your employer withholds the wrong amount of taxes?
File your income tax return correctly for the past year and fill out a new W-4 form for the new year that is going on and try to make sure that it does not happen again in the future years to come. You can fill out a new W-4 form any time that you think it may be necessary to make that you have the correct amount of income taxes withheld.
The IRS has a useful tool available for this purpose called the IRS Withholding Calculator. Go to www.irs.gov choose Individual and then scroll down page and choose IRS Withholding Calculator.
You can use the search box at www.irs.gov and type IRS Withholding Calculator
This easy to use calculator can help you figure your Federal income tax withholding so your employer can withhold the correct amount from your pay. This is particularly helpful if you've had too much or too little withheld in the past, your situation has changed, or you are starting a new job.

What makes you think the "wrong" amount was withheld? Did you specifically tell him,and authorize it by filing the W-4 correctly, exactly how much to withhold? If not, presumably he withheld how much your W-4 instructed...which can come to several different, but similar results, depending on which of the many methods his system uses to calculate the certain aspects. He is NOT responsible to determine how much tax YOU wanted, or needed, to have withheld. YOU direct it by YOUR W4.
The payer. There are a ton of different 1099 tax forms (or information returns) and new forms continued to be developed and released. Each form is sending different information to the IRS. But in all cases, its the payer (the one who is paying out the money) is required to fill out the 1099 form and mail it to the recipient.
If you have children and didn't work do you file taxes?
Yes! You do file taxes, it is a State and Government law plus, having children should make it you get a tax return from your State and Federal.
What percentage of salary can a single wage earner expect to be deducted for all taxes?
If this is about your net take home pay for each pay period that your gross income is $$$.
You should get this information from your employer payroll department as they will be the one that would know how much FICA, federal income tax, state income, local taxes, etc they will have to withhold from your hourly pay or gross pay for the pay period.
After the withheld amount for all taxes is subtracted from your gross wages (earned income) your paycheck will issued for the net amount of your earning (wages).
The above is not really correct.
While many amounts deducted from your pay, things like FICA, Unemployment Ins. Workers comp, medical contributions, etc. etc. are essentially out of your control, and your payroll department can best inform you of (especially as many of them have NOTHING to do with what you may otherwise consider income, or are a fixed amount or stop at certain thresholds).... the amount of income tax is entirely in your control and YOU direct the payroll department how much to deduct by properly and completely filing out a W-4 form. The amount may well be different for 2 even very similar people working at the identical job making the same salary. The amount should be enough to pay your tax due on that income...which once again, may be totally different between any 2 people based on many things.
There is no specific fixed amount or percent. Two people working at the same job, making the same wage may (an almost always do) have much different amounts required to be withheld.
It depends on many, many things...not the least of which is what you consider tax. Many people group all their withholding 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 many other 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 required), as well as your filing status, number of dependents and other deductions (like interest on a mortgage) or contributions to 401K, or medical and other benefits you selected, etc., etc.
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. The variations are so numerous that again, it is fair to say that it would be uncommon for 2 people, working at the same job making the same salary would have the same amount withheld.
There are even a number of different legal ways for the payroll provider to calculate the amount to withhold considering all the above...but overall they make only a small difference. However, if your only working for a short period, say seasonally, since most all tax withholding calculations figure you will be making the amount on an annual basis, which would be much more income (or higher rate schedule) than you may have, you should make sure that is taken into consideration.
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 and interest charges). Again, adjusting your W-4 is the way to correct for any of these circumstances. Just follow the instructions and examples for that form and you should have a very close amount for what is needed withheld for your situation...if for any number of reasons including those above, the situation changes... you will need to change the W-4.

What would the withholding tax be for 536.30?
Withholding tax comes in various forms and types:
The 2 most common are for payroll, where tax is withheld and sent to th appropriate jurisdictions - Federal, State, City and even local - depending on what is needed for that particular income. The income taxes are sent to the tax jurisdiction and placed in an account entirely for the benefit of the employee. They are an estimated payment on tax that will be calculated at year end. (Additionally, other payroll requirements of things like FICA, Unemply Insur, FUTA, Workers Comp, etc., etc. may be withheld fro the pay given the employee). THIS TAX IS ENTIRELY IN THE CONTROL OF TE EMPLOYEE/TAXPAYER and just like the tax that will be due at the end of the income period it is an estimated payment on, because of all the variables in calculating tax (like single or joint filing, number of dependents, mortgage interest payments, IRA/401k contributions, etc., etc., etc), there is no specific or even right/required answer to your question.
There is also another withholding - called "backup" withholding. It is generally used only for foreigners who may try to avoid paying tax on US source income, and those who faile to provide SS#s or may have had problems reporting income on their annual return in the past. It requires that 20% of any payment (say interest on investments, or even rents, etc) be withheld and paid to the US on their behalf. In which case $107.26 of this amount would be submitted.
Do you have to claim income a dependent made?
Not on your income tax return. But the dependent may want to file the dependents own income tax return claiming the dependents income on it.
The dependent cannot claim the dependent own exemption on the dependent own income tax return and will have to make sure that the dependent indicates on the dependent income tax return that the dependent is eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayers income tax return.
Go to www.irs.gov and use the search box for Publication 17 (2009), Your Federal Income Tax for Individuals

Go to chapter 3 Exemption then
Your Own Exemption
You can take one exemption for yourself unless you can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer. If another taxpayer is entitled to claim you as a dependent, you cannot take an exemption for yourself even if the other taxpayer does not actually claim you as a dependent.
Then Exemptions for Dependents
Dependent not allowed a personal exemption. If you can claim an exemption for your dependent, the dependent cannot claim his or her own personal exemption on his or her own tax return. This is true even if you do not claim the dependent's exemption on your return or if the exemption will be reduced under the phaseout rule described under Phaseout of Exemptions, later.
I believe the above is only partly correct as to what your really asking.
For example, if you have a child that has income (by employment, by inherritance, etc), even though you may list them as a dependent, that persons income is TAXABLE at your rate. (In other words, because the adult has reasonable income and pays tax at say 25%, if he shifts income to, or his child has income of an amount that presumably would be taxed much less (tax on 10K annually being virtually 0 %), essentially that income must be included as yours to get taxed at the higher rate.

Why do you file income taxes for deceased person?
There are many taxes due during the life and at the the death of a person. While most are handled annually (and most people die with part of a year un-accounted for) , some parts of most tax calculations and some others entirely, may be delayed over years (or concluded) upon death. Any past due amounts would also need to be paid by the persons estate to essentially close their account with the government. Upon their death, final returns to do so, as well as returns that may be a once in a lifetime (Estate Tax) returns may need to be filed. Frequently no, or very limited amount of tax is due, and it becomes more of a recording process. Also rember that very frequently, a REFUND is the result of any tax filing.
When you are the personal representative of the taxpayer estate, I.e., you are the administrator, executor or the person in charge of the taxpayer property. You will use one of the 1040 tax forms for the final return of the taxpayer.
After entering the deceased name, and date of death at the top of the tax form, you sign your name in the signature block and add the words "filing as personal representative". You also need to complete IRS Form 56, Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship and send it with the return.
Also if a refund is due then a form 1310 is needed to assure that the refund is issued in the Per. Rep's name.

And of course you do not want to forget about the state as they may have some different filing requirements.
Publication 559 is designed to help those in charge of the property (estate) of an
Individual who has died (decedent). It shows them how to complete and file federal income tax returns and points out their responsibility to pay any taxes due.
A comprehensive example, using tax forms, is included near the end of this publication.

If you have a baby before April 15th can you claim on tax form for the last year?
If the baby is born after 12/31/2009, it cannot be claimed on the 2009 tax return. It must be born anytime, even 1 second during the tax year (01/01/XX -12/31/XX).
That is true for any year.
The date the form to report that years financial activity is due is unimportant.
What percentange of your taxes do you lose if you claim a dependent?
Federal taxes are not based on a straight percentage but on a deduction and then a percentage. The percentage is according to income. If you live in a state that already takes out high taxes, then the federal government takes out taxes at an even higher rate.
