<prompt> Human: So ive been working for a new employer doing construction in New Jersey for about a month. Whenever he pays me he takes my hours and calculates how much is taken out for taxes and then writes me a check on the spot. Should he be showing proof that he is taking out the taxes legitimately and if so what would that be? For every job Ive had its been shown on my check how much is being taken out and where its going. Is there some type of form or some proof I can ask for? Edit: To add to this, I worked for him last year and filled out an application. This time i never filled out an application or a W4 or anything. I make 13 Dollars an hour and he gives me .8 of what the check should be  <response>: Hes fudging numbers, he maybe declaring your income to the state or not. Probably not or not the whole amount. If you never gave a tax Id then your w2 will be fake.
