You do NOT have any amount that is withheld from your net take home paycheck after it is issued to you. The amount that is withheld is calculated on your gross earnings for the pay period and is a advance payment of your possible future income tax liability.
After your income tax return is completed correctly and IF the amount that is withheld is more than your federal or state income liability then you will receive a refund of the over withheld amount.
The correct amount that was withheld for each one will be sent separately to the state and to the federal government.

Social Security also known as FICA is taxed at 6.2% of income. Medicare is taxed at 1.45%.
Income tax withheld from each paycheck is a portion of an employee's earnings that an employer deducts to meet their tax obligations. This withheld amount is then sent to the federal or state government as a prepayment of the employee's annual income tax liability. The withholding ensures that taxpayers do not owe a large sum at the end of the tax year and helps fund government services and programs. The amount withheld is based on factors such as the employee's income level, filing status, and any allowances claimed on their W-4 form.
