why is my commission always taxed every paystub and can it be applied as a deductible when filing ?

[Winny1]

example: Every time i get commission on my paystub they take extra taxes out its like i never see any of the money.

Does it show up on your W2?  Like in box 1 in your total income or where else?

While there is no deduction or credit for FICA taxes (boxes 4 nd 6), withholding taxes are a credit against the taxes you will owe on those commissions. They would be included in box 2 (federal) and possibly 16 (state)
