Why you pay fed wt on pay check?

Federal withholding tax (fed wt) is deducted from your paycheck to prepay your income taxes to the federal government. This system helps ensure that you don’t owe a large sum at tax time, as the amount withheld is based on your income level and filing status. The withheld amount contributes to funding various government programs and services. Ultimately, it helps simplify the tax payment process throughout the year.
