By statute, a large number of employers in the US and elsewhere, have their payroll departments make lawfully required tax deductions from employees paychecks. These may include social security, unemployment and state and federal income tax deductions. The individual employee in the US can determine the amount of federal tax exemptions to declare which effects the amount of funds that are withheld and passed on to the federal government.
