Dave asked:


A dependant works for a university and her paystubs have federal taxes withheld, but no social security of medicare. She tells me that the school told her that she doesn’t pay that but she is unsure why. Possibly becasue they are a federal university? I don’t know if that sounds right or not.
If it is incorrect, will she then owe whatever amount at the end of the year?

Smita asked:


I’m trying to confirm that my paycheck is being cut properly. I looked through the amounts being deducted for Fed tax, Social Security and Medicare, but I needed to know what percentage of each is supposed to be taken from the gross income. Also when the percentages are cut from the gross amount, is each amount taken individually from the whole? I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance for your help.
