I have an employee over 70 years of age, can she stop withholding her FICA taxes? (Social Security) Thank you
When filing your federal tax return, use form 1040. In the 'payments' portion on page 2, there is a line to enter your excess social security withheld. Enter the extra amount paid in there. This will either increase your refund or lower your liability. You can amend a return already submitted if you did not do this.
For 2009, the Social Security Withholding tax (OASDI) is 6.20% on wages up to $106,800. Doing the math the maximum social security withholding is $6,621.60. If you have more than one employer in 2009 and your combined earnings exceed $106,800 the combined withholding can exceed $6,621.60 as EACH employer is required to deduct 6.20% of earnings up to $106,800. You will get back any amount over $6,621.60 when you file your taxes as excess social security taxes, or your employer will stop withholding any amounts above $6,621.60 from your paycheck. There is an additional 1.45% for Medicare which has no cap on the amount of withholding. The combined OASDI and Medicare tax of 7.65% is commonly referred to as the Social Security Withholding tax.

When you have one employer the amount of FICA for your social security would stop once your wages with the withheld social security amount reach 106800 and social security amount withheld would be 6621.60 If you have more than one employer and your combined wages reported on your W-2 are more than the 106800 amount and your the withheld social security amount is more than the 6621.60 then you would get a tax credit for the amount that is over the 6621.60 on your federal income tax return.

If you were over paid by unemployment can that affect your social security benefits at all
Over 65 years old OR disabled; citizen or permanent resident alien; with 40 quarters of covered employment (i.e., employment for which you paid Medicare withholding).
Over 70 years
there is no statute that prohibits some one from collecting social security payments from the time their service is over. If they were to go back to prison the payments would stop and then go back to the governemtn.
NO! Over payments are usually the fault of the Social Security Administration. You are entitled to a hearing that usually determines the fault. Social Security does not want to pay for your prison stay.
Social Security Disability is a Federal benefit. You apply through Social Security Administration. However a local Social Security office might not be in Grants Pass, but almost everything including filing a claim can be done online and over the phone.
