Those forms are just so that when it's time to pay taxes, the money has already been taken out so you don't have a big surprise on April 15. @ lisa

We are a family of 3. My husband is the only worker. Our son is still in highschool. We are low income. This year,(2008),my husbands earnings were only about $8,000. He claims 2 on his paychecks and by doing that they are taking nothing out for federal.Is that bad? We have always received the earned income credit for our son because my husband has usually met the $10,000 required line for the EIC but this year there is no way he is going to meet the $10,000 in time. So will we still get a refund beings we probably won't get the EIC this time? And what about them not taking anything out on his paychecks for federal because he claims 2 on them? Is that a problem? If he only claims 1 on his checks that cuts his take home pay way too short which is why he claims 2 on them and then claims 3 at the end of the year on taxes. Can anyone shed light on this?

I home school my children now, but previously a public school teacher taught my son his opinion on what we pay, why, and who should be paying more. This resource enabled me to explain what and why. What I want my children to learn is that they need to provide for their retirement rather than expect the federal government to do so. This is a great dissection!

Seeing the amount of Social Security coming out of my pay makes me very angry. And SS will not benefit me in any way in the future, i will never see that hard earned money. :( I agree that Something should be done in regards to this. Its crazy. We get taxed on everything- what we earn, what we buy/spend. The system is really unfair and messed up and its just not something you realized until you start thinking about it.

This is very unfair to the younger community and something must be done in regards to this. I don't blame people for working "Under the table jobs" because regardless of benefits and medical expenses, if you do not qualify for SS refunds then it's far more convenient to work without these ridiculous withholdings..
