Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you have too much money withheld from your paychecks, you end up giving Uncle Sam an interest-free loan (and getting a tax refund). On the other hand, having too little withheld from your paychecks could mean an unexpected tax bill or even a penalty for underpayment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Not all gross wages are subject to this tax. An annual wage base limit caps earnings that are subject to withholding for Social Security at $147, 000 in 2022, increasing to $160, 200 in 2023. 4 Income over this amount isn’t subject to Social Security tax or withholding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Withholding tax is an amount that is directly deducted from the employee’s earnings by the employer and paid to the government as a part of individual’s tax liability. These taxes are paid to the central government of India. In India, the Central Government is liable and empowered to levy and collect taxes.
