What is Deducted From the Pay Check?
 Wages received by student employees are subject to federal, state and city tax deductions. Social Security (FICA) is deducted during the summer semesters if the student is enrolled in less than a ½ time status.

All taxes will be deducted from graduate students with less than 5 credits.

The rules for being EXEMPT from federal taxes have changed. If your parents or another person can (not will, but can) claim you as a dependent on their tax return, you will have to pay some income tax for the year and cannot be exempted from withholding.
