During your working life, you pay Medicare tax out of your paycheck. That tax pays for your Medicare Part A (hospitalization). When you turn 65 and enroll in Medicare, you can choose to enroll in Part B (medical/doctor's office). The premium for Part B for 2009 is $96.40 per month (if you make less than $85,000.00 per year) which is automatically deducted from your Social Security check.

Yes. The "self-employment tax" is actually the Social Security and Medicare tax. If you work for someone else, you would have Social Security and Medicare tax taken out of your paycheck and your employer would match the amounts that were taken out. When you are self-employed, instead of having these amounts taken out of your paycheck, you pay both the employee and the employer share directly to the government.

How much taxes are taken out of a 300.00 paycheck in nc?

In North Carolina, the amount of taxes taken out of a $300 paycheck can vary based on several factors, including the employee's tax filing status, allowances claimed on their W-4 form, and additional deductions for Social Security and Medicare. Generally, federal income tax, state income tax, and FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare) will be deducted. As a rough estimate, after accounting for these deductions, you might expect around 15-25% total in taxes, which could amount to approximately $45 to $75 taken out of a $300 paycheck. For precise calculations, it's best to use a paycheck calculator or consult with a tax professional.

Yes. At the same rates as anybody else. (There are some special treatments for children who work as household employees or who work for their own parents.) Of course, if you paycheck is very small and you fill out your W-4 properly, you may not have income taxes taken out because of the size of your check, not because of your age. You would still have Social Security and Medicare taxes taken out.
