<prompt> Human: I just started a new job and my weekly checks are all over 1000 and up, but taxes take out the majority of it. Im 25 single with no kids. The new job is commission based so i wouldnt have a set salary. I want to know how i could lower the amount taken out without owing the government anything.Assistant: taxes take out the majority of it...Can you give an example of a paycheck gross and the specific amounts you are seeing withheld as federal income tax, social security tax, medicare tax, state income tax, and other taxes?Human: For examle a paycheck was 1013.48. Federal tax 160.36Social security 62.84Medicare 14.70NJ State tax 30.19NJ SUISDI 7.75  <response>: You used 0 allowances on your W-4 line 5. Should be using 2 allowances. W-4 line A 1, line B 1, so line H 2.Your current withholding setting is thinking your annual income is going to be 8100 more than it will be. So it is taking too much out about 2025 too much withholding across year. You could see about 39 more take home each week if you fix your allowances.Fill out a new W-4 using 2 allowances. Then revisit the topic again in February or whenever IRS has updated the guidelines about withholding for new tax reform in 2018.---Also, all those taxes add up to under 280. How do you figure that is the majority of your 1013 paycheck? ;-
