How can my 15 year old who works in a supermarket owe NY state when he has a W2 and taxes are already withdrawn?

The taxes withheld on a W-2 may be (and usually are) different than the taxpayer's actual final taxes owed. The actual taxes owed - or refund due - can only be determined by completing a tax return.

Thank you! So it would likely change when I submit or file it? I was not going to file based on owing as he is a minor and doesn't have to file

The fact that he is a minor is irrelevant. His obligation to file is determined by his filing status and his income.

When you complete his tax return you will know if he owes taxes or is getting a refund. Be sure that on his tax return he indicates that he can be claimed as a dependent by someone else.,
