Your paystub may indicate what you paid in as a pre-payment..
BUT
It DOES NOT indicate that you will get any of it back.....in fact, it they didn't withhold enough during the year, you could owe MORE .
You fill out all your tax return data, all income and if your income is high enough, some or all of your prior withholding may be kept by the Govt to pay for roads, military, border patrol, education grants, social programs..etc..etc..etc.. You earn more..the Govt (and state) keep more.
