Issue with company driver tax's.

Got my first W-2 in the mail today finally. It is from Marten Transport. for the month I worked for them I didn't make but $1,458.83 gross. Howeve they only took $2.89 in federal. Does this sound right considering I made under $1,500 with them? I filled out the W-2 the same in the application as I have with any other company and have payed in over to make sure I wouldn't be caught having to pay in. I'm hoping this is correct and I don't have to pay in. But if so my other W-2's should be able to help cover it sense I have no money in hand to pay it. Can anyone shed some light on this? My state tax , SS, and Medicare are all paid in full. It's only federal that seem's to be an issue.

 

Make's sense. However, Marten has a requirment that you must be on per diem for the first 6 month's then you can opt out if you like so I was getting hit with it. Another thing is that I never received a pay stub or statement. There payroll statement's were all done online only and I didn't have a laptop at the time so I have no way to view these files as they are no longer avalible.

 

Oh ok. Yea they told me they didn't send them by mail so I never asked anymore about it. Think that would have been my mistake but I'll next time this may come up. I just can't figure out why they only took $2.89 out of almost $1,500. Seem's really shy. I hope I don't have to pay in because I can't afford it.
