<prompt> Human: 22 Kansas I only make about 1,600 a month gross income. Taxes take about 20 of that each paycheck about 1,250 net which has caused me to start living paycheck to paycheck with only about 50 extra a month, which is way to dangerous.My question is about what percent would they take out in taxes each month if I claimed 1? Please dont worry about tax returns as I couldnt care less about how big or small it is, or if I have a pay a little at the end of the year.  <response>: You should follow the instructions on your W-4.If you are single, and nobody can claim you as a dependant, you should claim 2 allowances.
