<prompt> Human: I seem to have found myself in a bit of a pickle this tax season. I live in PA if that helps. Now down to the nitty gritty:- I worked two jobs in 2017 and made 27.3k- At my previous job I made a total of 11.8k and they only withheld 6 of my gross pay for taxes. - At my current job I made 15.5k and all the taxes there are on the up and up. - At previous job they also slipped a decimal when taking out local taxes so instead of taking out the expected flat 1 rate, they took out only .1.- My state taxes are a little screwed up with my previous job, but I broke even with that 1 refund so Im not as concerned. So at this point Im doing my taxes and it shows that my entire almost 1k federal refund went to paying the taxes that were missed, and I still owe 200 in federal taxes on top of that. There is also the issue of the slipped decimal in my local taxes. Now Ive tried to contact my old employer, but have not heard back from them yet. When they do get back to me, who is responsible for the taxes owed? Am I still responsible for this money or does my previous employer have to pay it? Do I have any hope of getting a refund or should I just expect the 200 owed to be covered? With my local taxes being screwed up, the amount owed will be 100 as well. What should I expect with this? I have been struggling financially this year and really banking on my refund to cover some unexpected medicaldental costs I know this is dumb, and I dont know how Im going to just randomly come up with an extra 300 out of thin air when I live paycheck to paycheck already. Thanks in advance.  <response>: You are responsible for your tax burden. Your employers software will make estimates, but its on you to see if they are accurate. This is why you should review your paychecks as well, so that you could raise the decimal point issue to your employer, and save that money separately if they could not get it resolved. Its your earnings, its your responsibility.
