Possible reasons:
1) Your income is very low.
2) The number of withholding allowances on your W-4 is very high.
3) You claimed "exempt" on your W-4.
4) Your employer is treating you as a contractor rather than an employee.
5) There is some sort of clerical error.
6) You applied for Advance EIC payments.
If you normally get back all of your taxes at the end of the year anyway, this is not a bad thing. If you don't, then you should investigate further.
What is percentage of federal taxes in texas?
To be more specific in the question. Social Security tax, Medicare tax, and State tax are all constant every paycheck. 1%, 3%, and 6%. Federal Tax has changed every paycheck from 8%-26%. 2 paychecks I received were for the same amount and because of the different federal tax in both checks they came out to be different amounts on the actual check. So the question is why does the federal tax change and the other taxes don't?
No deduction on your income tax return for the withheld amounts from your paycheck. All of the information from the W-2 that you receive after the end of the year will show all of the different withheld amounts and is used in filing your income tax return correctly to the IRS.

I won a lottery ticket in Wisconsin, worth $10,000, how much federal and state tax will be taken out?
Employees that receive a W2 from their employers usually fill out the Federal form W4 which determines the amount of federal tax taken out of each paycheck. The purpose of the form is to prevent underpayment or large overpayment of federal tax. As an alternative you can "block" federal taxes from being taken-which means having $0 per paycheck applied to federal taxes. This should only be done if you don't expect to pay federal taxes or your taxes are paid in another way (for instance through a spouse's withholding. This might also be done if the amount of tax that needs to be paid for the year is known at the start. A person could block the tax and then specify a flat amount taken out each paycheck. For instance if you pay $12000 a year in taxes and get paid once a month you could have a flat tax of $1000/month taken out. The advantage to this method is that rather than getting a refund at the end of the year you have use of the money through out the year.

The percentage of taxes taken out of a paycheck depends on the number of exemptions you are allowed to claim. The average amount taken out is 15% or more for deductions including social security and income tax.
Those are amounts taken out of your paycheck that do not reduce the amount of tax you have to pay on your salary.
