How does this work?

I've never had a job that doesn't withhold taxes so how many hours per week is safe to take without having to pay out the wazoo at the end of the year??

I had this for awhile early in my working life before/ during college as I was paid in cash for farm and day labor type work as a large component of my earnings.

Talking with an accountant is best. What that involved for me was having a good projection of total compensation for the year. From there, looking at what that would mean for Federal /State/Local Taxes, Social Security and Medicare. You likely need to make quarterly payments aligned to your pay in each quarter over the year to avoid penalties.
