How much do social workers pay on taxes?

Social workers pay the same taxes as anybody else. The tax rate varies based on total income from all sources, number of dependents, marital status, and the amount of deductions and credits to which the social worker is entitled. State tax rates depend upon which state the social worker lives and works in. Social workers who work for state and local governments in some states (like all government employees in those states) may be exempt from Social Security taxes. Social workers who work for certain religious groups that are exempt from Social Security may find themselves having to pay self-employment taxes.
