Every situation is different with taxes.

Your employer withholds money from your check for taxes, but the amount of the withholding is different for everyone. When you start a job, you complete a W-4 form which has a box for allowances. The more allowances you claim, the less money will come out of your check. You can even claim exemption from taxes if you have valid grounds to do so. Alternatively, you can also claim zero allowances for maximum withholding.

Low-income taxpayers entitled to Earned Income Credit. Other credits may be applied.
