Will you have to pay taxes if taxes are not taking out of your check?

Yes, you may have to pay taxes if they are not being taken out of your check. If you are not making very much money and your income is below the income threshold (which was $9,500 for a single person under 65 in 2011) you do not need to file a tax return. On the other hand, the fact that taxes are not being withheld from your paychecks might be an oversight. Be sure to check to make sure your withholding matches up with your tax liability - the IRS Withholding Calculator can help you make this determination. If they do not match up, adjust the number of allowances you claim on your W-4 to make sure that they do. If on the other hand, you are self-employed, such as an independent contractor or freelancer, taxes will never be withheld and you will be responsible for sending in your own estimated tax payments to the IRS at least four times a year.
