<prompt> Human: Live in D.C. Make 30k a year before taxes. Every bi weekly paycheck around 100 get taken out. I checked a online tax calculator and it said Ill have to pay more taxes in march, is there a legal way for me to pay less taxes?  <response>: 200month is only 2400 for the year. If you are single with no kids then yes you will have to pay more taxes than that. Thats basically just covering SS and Medicare 7.5. Anything you make over about 11,000 you will owe actual taxes on.
