irs withholding tables based on single -weekly and $204 in wages  - fed withholding should be about $13,  in addition social security and medicare taxes would be about $16,    $50 also seems high for CA, that's 25% tax rate.  Ca maximum tax rate comes nowhere near 25%.   we can't do anything at this end, you need to check with your employer or the human resource department.  CA also has a deduction for state disability insurance.
