I'm a single 23 year old female with no dependents (unless there's a way to get creative). I make barely over $29,000 a year before taxes. Between state (CA), federal, and social security, I'm getting hit with about $500 in taxes per paycheck. It's insane! I pay about $289 to the fed, $60 to the state, and almost $150 in soc sec. That turns a $2447 monthly check into $1797 (the extra is benefits and such). I haven't claimed any allowances of any kind, as I just can't think of any that apply to me. I've got no assets and a whole bunch of credit card debt I could be paying off with that money.
Anyone got any ideas?
