<prompt> Human: Hey folks, question for all you tax gurus out there. I work in a seasonal industry and am currently based out of Los Angeles, California. Last year I made 84k and when I filed my taxes I did some rough math and figured that I was taxed about 28 when all was said and done.I started a new job a couple weeks ago, my first for 2016, and my weekly is 2200. I just got my first check back and I was stunned to see that 752.85 was taken out. Thats 34 of my check taken out. Is this correct?The tax deductions look like this:FED 416.07FICA-SSA 136.40 FICA-MED 31.90CA SDI 19.80CA RS ST 148.68Total: 752.85When Im done with this job, Ill have made about 57,000. I dont plan on making more than that for the rest of the year. Will I just get a large lump sum back? Or am I just paying out the ass for taxes?? Im all about doing my part, but 34 is on par with socialist taxes. . .I have friends in Sweden paying 32 and at least health care is included.Thanks in advance for your help guys :  <response>: Your friends in Sweden are making less than you
