Is it so that employers don't subtract your taxes in the US? How does that work? Do you get one big invoices in the mail for a year of tax?
Here in Norway one normally pays around 45% of one's salary in tax. The employer has to subtract the money from your pay directly. Because no one sees the money before it goes to the government, many people don't really think much about it. If that on the other hand got one big bill at the end of the year I think there would have a lot more outcry on all the waste of taxpayers’ money that is going on.
In the US there's commonly withholding on your paycheck for your state and federal income taxes and Medicare/Social Security. You can tell whatever company does your paychecks to withhold more or less depending on if you know you have a lot of deductions (married, supporting children, etc.).
On my paycheck I have a break down for how much is being deducted this period then year to date.
