I live in NH and at my summer job, I made about $4000

$364 was taken out for Federal Income Tax
$247 for Social Security Tax
$57 for medicare Tax

Over the fall I worked in Mass and made $942

$35 out for Federal
$72 for FICA
$27 for State tax

Typically, how much of this should I get back?

probably all of the federal and state withholding because you didnt make very much money. The medicare, SS, and other taxes you won't see

^^ That is right

you should get nearly all of your fed tax back since you are under the "poverty" mark. The state will keep some, well thats how they do here in NY.
FICA, they keep it all.
