Minnesota tax for a 16 year old questions?

Question

Hello. So this summer I have been getting anywhere from 20-27% taken out of my check.

Im sixteen and live in Minnesota and I do not know what I claimed on my W-4 form. Is this amount normal?

I know it gets worst when you make more but I only make 7.50 a hour.

Can I claim exempt-student or will they just bill me at the end of the year?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Pretty much depends on how much you are working, on the total you make, not your hourly rate.

They'll take 7.65% for social security and medicare.  For federal and state income tax, it depends on what you make and what you put on your W-4.  

There is no such thing as exempt - student.  You can file exempt if you expect to make under $5450 total for the year.
