(Oregon) Compared checks with co-worker, and i get taxed way more, we both claimed 0?

I compared checks with a co-worker, i know your no supposed to or whatever but who cares. working 80 hours, a biweekly check of 720 before taxes is what we both make, his comes out to 612 after 17(dental) that i dont have. my check comes to 584-586 (no deductions besides tax). We both claimed 0, he owns a mobile home and i rent, i dont know if i should call the IRS or if i should call my payroll dept. My total deductions were 135, his was 91, please if anybody has any idea why im getting taxed so much more please let me know. The YTD for my federal / state are Federal 618.27 state 632.98 his YTD for both are federal 308.01 state 545.95 im not sure if i mixed those two up, one says OR withholding, the other one just says Withholding. on the checks mine shows s-1 after both, his shows s-0 on one and s-1 on the other, halP!!!!!

The year to date figures don't help us figure out what's different about your two paychecks or why. All that could mean is that one of you has been working for the company longer than the other. You'd need to compare the deductions for only one pay period to see what's different between the two of you. Something doesn't sound right here. If he's claiming zero exemptions and you're claiming one, you actually should be having slightly less deducted than he is. If your deductions for one pay period only really are that much different, then yes, check with your HR department (not the IRS. They don't have anything to do with this.)
