<prompt> Human: I just saw my first paycheck for a job that I started July tenth. I was given x amount, expecting slightly 200 more for my bi weekly check. I noticed that I was filed under married, yet Im a 23 year old single male. The employer must have made this mistake. Is this a possible reason I got taxed more ? Thanks Reddit.  <response>: Filing as married will result in you being taxed less, not more. You will owe the difference come tax time. Have your employer fix it.
