<prompt> Human: Thanks guys for the responses. A lot of interesting info here. From what I understand, it is your responsibility to make sure you dont overwithold. My situation is a grey area because I started work halfway through the year and was not making anything prior to that. Thus my taxable income was double than what it shouldve been.Assistant: Quite simply, thats not how it works. Its not the IRSs fault you had too much withholding. You should adjust your W-4 so as not to have a large refund.Human: Assuming you adjust your W-4 to completely match your situation, is it common that almost none of your income is withholded? less than 100 dollars.  <response>: Less than 100 per paycheck might be normal; it depends on your annual pay rate, pay frequency, and your situation marital status, number of dependents, etc..
