      Question about withholding

      Yes I know this. This is why I ask questions rather than take for granted that they have my best interest in mind. Frankly, the entire thing does seem like a scam by the govt. designed to get a bunch of poor souls to pay penalties in April for under withholding during the year.

      Question about withholding

      I appreciate that. I actually don't expect to change them nor prove anything, I just want to understand what is going on.

      Question about withholding

      So if I make $970 every two weeks coming to $25,200 I am not liable for any taxes? I know the answer to that, I am just being sarcastic.

      Question about withholding

      At the suggestion of HR, I even changed my status to "single" and that too made no difference whatsoever. Again my basic wonder is why, even with a $550 check there is STILL no withholding. I am not questioning the IRS publication, or how the system now works. Just why doesn't even a $550 check...

      Question about withholding

      The only deductions on my checks at all are: 1 - My own "extra" amount that I designated on the W-4 2 - A few dollars for medicare 3 - Anywhere from about $12 to $20 for a retirement fund that I will never see because I will never work there long enough for it to be vested. No Federal (other...

      Question about withholding

      The way withholding is supposed to work is by paycheck, rather than throughout the year. Here is an example: Paycheck for two week period, gross pay 500.00. 26 pay periods per year would bring that to 13,000. A small amount of tax should be withheld. Paycheck for two week period, gross pay...

      Question about withholding

      That's exactly who I have been talking to.

      Question about withholding

      As I have said, I KNOW THIS. So why have I not gotten anything withheld on $500+ checks? What has changed to prompt this non action? I've always had money withheld in the past no matter how small the check.

      Question about withholding

      Not really. I thought I had everything resolved back then. They told me that my checks were too small back then but I have gotten a few sizable ones and they STILL have no withholding. They are very unwilling to give me explanations so I come here. Now I am just wondering why, even after I get a...

      Question about withholding

      Thanks for the reply. I know I asked if it makes sense but my bigger question was "has something changed in the past few years?" Why have I had tax withheld from paychecks in my past that were far smaller than the checks I have nothing taken out of now? And why do I still know people who ARE...

      Question about withholding

      What is the name of your state?California I'm basically retired but I've been working part time for several months now. I sometimes work enough to earn over $500 in a 2 week pay period, and I sometimes work enough to earn only $50. It varies. I DO have some voluntary extra taken out to account...

      Question about tax withholding on paycheck

      One last post...Yes I am AWARE of what to do with a spouse's income. Yes I KNOW that legally they can only respond to MY income. Even prior to my mentioning my wife, the response when I asked why taxes were not being taken out of my check was "sorry I am not a tax expert, I can't help you." It...

      Question about tax withholding on paycheck

      Again, I thank everyone who has responded and tried to help, but I ask that this thread be closed if possible.

      Question about tax withholding on paycheck

      I really do appreciate the response even though it may not sound as such. But please, read my responses. Everyone keeps bringing up things for me to do that I keep addressing as to why I have not done them. I understand what you're saying about an employer's responsibility, but for them to...

      Question about tax withholding on paycheck

      Yes! As I have said multiple times now, I am aware of that box and have used it to designate additional amounts. I do not want to designate any more because if I am telling payroll to deduct more, I may end up with a situation in a given pay period where if I only work one or 2 days, I may not...

      Question about tax withholding on paycheck

      With all due respect, some of you need to read the entire thread before commenting... As I said in my original post, my wife makes over $100,000. I am getting social security. So between the two of us filing jointly we make over $130,000/year. This job adds to that, so the thought that I am not...

      Question about tax withholding on paycheck

      I do have taxes deducted from my SS benefit each month. I figured though that since I will also owe state tax with this job, I might as well take some extra fed out as well. In researching all this, I have read that with the new W-4 from last year, more and more employers are doing what they can...

      Question about tax withholding on paycheck

      Thank you for this. It's actually restored some sanity to my brain! It used to be that filling out a W-4 form was one of the easiest tasks on earth. It's amazing to me that now one must consult a tax expert in order to do so. My biggest concern is that if I designate an amount to be deducted...

      Question about tax withholding on paycheck

      After sending another email to payroll after receiving my latest check today to ask why there is still no withholding, I got a response saying "we are not tax experts, you may want to send an email with this question to the following link..." He sent me a link to a website for tax help from The...
