I'm in a total panic over this. I don't even remember how many months it's been since I got this job, I have terrible memory. I'd say about 8.
I work at a library as a janitor, I make 10$ an hour but only get 12 hours in a pay period. I'm pretty fond of the job as it's pretty lax, and I also really like the library ladies. It's an ideal job for me, but today my boss asked me if I'd been saving money for taxes out of my paychecks. I haven't because originally she told me not to worry about taxes, which I took to mean it would be taken out naturally and I'd just get a form to help me fill out taxes at the end of the year.
Now I'm terrified because I make so little as it is that I can hardly survive on what I'm making now, and if I wasn't living in a property my father owns I'd be homeless. I don't want to get in trouble with the government for not doing my taxes right, but I don't know how much I owe or how to calculate it or even how I'll survive losing that money.
I get paid on the 15th and the 30th, and I make about 125$ in that pay period. I'm getting like 260 a month, I was keeping all my checks until a few months ago, I guess I can check my bank statements to see how long and the exact amounts, but I still don't know exactly how to calculate how much I owe.
EDIT: I went through my bank statements and I've made 1,618$ working here over the past (I think) 8 months. I don't have all the checks Ive gotten, we had a problem with mice and they got into the checks I had saved and I lost a few. I also threw away the past 2 after voiding them because I deposited them into my Account and didn't think I'd need them.
Can anyone please help me so I can find out how much I owe and save it before I have to file?
