Federal Tax
Why was federal tax not taken out of a few new employees checks that were over $600.00?

It would depend on how they filled out their W4 (single, married, number of exemptions claimed).

<biting tongue> I really couldn't say.

Why don't you ask the employer?

I don't know.
Were state or local taxes, social security or medicaid withheld?
Maybe the employer considers the person to be an independent contractor and not an employee.

Let me ask my manicurist's husband's mechanic.

Ask the employer as to why he did not withhhold and also based upon the W-4 if filled out look at the withholding charts
