    What do you mean by itemized taxes? I can already see where taxes are going on my paystub: health, dental, vision, federal tax, state tax, Medicare, and social security. I can also see how much is going to 401k.

    More itemized than that? I wouldn’t really want to see where the federal and state taxes are being used simply because I think that would be way too many items.

      And how are those “federal” ones spent? That’s what I mean. I would like to see what percentage of my taxes go to what specific federal program, for example. Not just a vague “federal” item.

        So you want the thousands of federal programs that your federal taxes go towards listed on every paycheck? You have any idea how long that list would be?

        Edit: are there certain categories you want it broken down into? I feel like we can look up the federal budget to see where our money is going. Having 100s of line items where a tiny fraction of our money goes towards seems excessive.
