Frequently asked questions
Does Texas take state taxes out of paychecks?

Why is my Texas paycheck lower than expected?
The usual causes are federal withholding based on your W-4, pre-tax benefits like medical insurance, and 401(k) contributions. If you checked the W-4 Step 2 box for two jobs, federal withholding is calculated at a higher rate on each job.
