<prompt> Human: I am a single student.My friends say they dont get taxed as much as I do. My pay stub for 2 weeks at 12.50hr is this:73.41 Regular hours12.50. 2.66 Overtime Hours18.75Net:776.95, Gross: 917.62 49.88overtimeTaxes include State44.00, SS74.02, and Federal72.54That brings it to 967.51 - 190.56 776.95 on the pay stub.Most of my colleges have said that their exactly the same positions pay them around 850. Is there something wrong? Am I being taxed too much?  <response>: What is withheld from your check isnt how much you are taxed. How much you are taxed is determined when you file your tax return.If in fact your checks were identical other than the withholding and their status single, ... was the same it would just mean you would get a bigger tax refund than they will
