The amount of your withholding depends on your income and the number of deductions you claim.

I would first check with your employer to make sure they have your W-2 and are using it to figure your withholding.

You can check to see how much should be withheld by referring to the Federal withholding tables, Publication 15-T.

"I did. My w-4 online "

Did you actually give that W-4 to your employer? If you did not give it to the employer, it has no effect.

If you are filing as head of household with three dependents, you will not owe any federal income tax until your income is somewhere over $55,000 per year.*** So if you fill out the W-4 showing HOH and 3 dependents, you would not expect to have any federal withholding unless your gross taxable income was more than $1000 per week.

*** this is a rough calculation based on the following. $55,000 -$18,000 standard deduction equals $37,000. At 15% income tax, the tax due is $5550. You will get a $6000 tax credit for your three dependents, meaning you owe no federal income tax.
