Federal and state taxes should be deducted by your employer based on how you filled out your Form W-4 when you were hired. If you claim too many exemptions on your Form W-4 it may result in no federal taxes being withheld. If you need to change the amount being deducted, you will need to fill out a new Form W-4. Contact the IRS or state tax agency for help in filling out your Form W-4. If you need a different Form W-4 for your state taxes, you may fill one out and write "State only" on the top before giving it to your employer.

If your employer is refusing to withhold taxes from your pay, you can contact the IRS and submit a Form W-4 directly to them. This notifies the IRS that your employer is not complying with the law.

If you are classified as a independent contractor, anyone who hires you does not make any payments on your behalf. Independent contractors are responsible for making estimated payments for their federal and state income taxes and Social Security taxes. They are also not eligible for unemployment. If you are concerned that you should not be an independent contractor, you should contact your state's employment department to determine if you are really an independent contractor or an employee (and your employer is illegally trying to save money by not classifying you as an employee).

Do you pay both income tax and self employment tax because you are self employed?

Yes. The "self-employment tax" is actually the Social Security and Medicare tax. If you work for someone else, you would have Social Security and Medicare tax taken out of your paycheck and your employer would match the amounts that were taken out. When you are self-employed, instead of having these amounts taken out of your paycheck, you pay both the employee and the employer share directly to the government.

Withholding is the portion of an employee's wages that is not included in their paycheck but is instead remitted directly to the federal, state, or local tax authorities.
