I am trying to find out the Standard Deduction on federal
income tax broken down by the payroll period
(weekly,biweekly, etc....) Anyone know where I can get it?
I don't think you mean "standard deduction" which is the
amount that you can reduce your taxable income by instead of
using actual itemized deductions when you file your taxes.
For 2006 that amount is $5,150 for single, $10,300 for MFJ
and $7,550 for HOH. It has nothing to do with how you are
paid.
Do you mean the amount that is _withheld_ from each paycheck
for paying your federal income tax? If so, the amount that
is withheld each pay period is dependent on the information
you provided to your employer on your W-4 form. If you have
more than one employer or if you have other taxably sources
of income not subject to withholding, such as interest
income or dividends, then you may need to ask for an
additional amount to be withheld each pay period to make up
for the shortfall (or pay quarterly estimated taxes
instead).
To find out the proper amount that should be withheld for
you and your particular circumstances there is a withholding
calculator on the IRS web site that will give you the
numbers that I think you are asking for:
