Current Events > Am I being taxed too high or am I just screwed?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I make 16/h, I work about 75-80 hours a paycheck, get paid every two weeks. I declare as a "1".

I clear about $830 or so give or take. I was checking my taxes, and they take out $340 or more every paycheck. I checked my yearly deductions so far and I'm at 7500 and there are still many months left.

This feels astronomically high for my pay rate, but I know it might be my city or something idk. I only just got healthcare this month, so that 7500 isn't including medical care -- that only JUST kicked in, starting next paycheck.
