You do NOT have any amount withheld from your net take home paycheck after it is issued to you.

The parts that are withheld from your gross wages, earnings before your net paycheck is issued to you is a prepayment of any possible state and federal income tax liability that you could have after your income tax return is completed correctly. If your income tax liability is less than the withheld amounts you will receive the over withheld amounts as a refund after you file your income tax return.

You should get this information from your employer payroll department as they will be the one that would know how much FICA, federal income tax, state income, local taxes, etc they will have to withhold from your hourly pay or gross pay for the pay period.
