Question: how to get federal taxes taken out of your paycheck?
Answer: The W-4 is a form that you complete and give to your employer (not the IRS) for federal tax and the equivalent form for state tax withholding. The W-4 communicates to you employer(s) how much federal and/or state tax you - and spouse if s/he works - wish to have withheld from each paycheck in a pay period.
