Is it true that on-campus jobs don't take taxes out of your check?

Question

I heard this but don't know if it is true or not. It is an on-campus job NOT a work-study job if that makes any difference.

Answer 1

Allie:

Certain work study positions are not subject to Social Security or Medicare tax withholding, but will still be taxable income.  If this job is not a work study position, your wages will be subject to SS and Medicare as well as income tax withholding.  Your employer should explain this.

Answer 2

It was once true.  In the mid-1990's, I did have an on-campus job that was not a work study job and no taxes were withhold, usually (they were withheld once).  I do not know if it is still true.
