Reply to comment by Twisted-Panties in Pennsylvania latest to eliminate college degree requirements for most state jobs by Created-being

someone has taught you something wrong. Just FYI

but since reddit should be educational, instead of what i'm hearing. Here's google:

> The amount remaining after all withholdings are accounted for is net pay or take-home pay

You tell the IRS what are "all withholdings". You write a number in a box and that's how withholdings happen. Withholding affect your 'net'.

Now maybe you never did this. If you haven't, you should find out who has been telling the IRS what are your withholdings. You coudl be getting ripped

There are other taxes besides Federal Income Tax. You also pay towards SS/Medicare, state and local taxes and in the case of a State Employee, retirement and Union Dues(if you choose to join).

You are only mentioning the one tax where you do have some actual control over(married/single and whether to count yourself as a dependent).
