is there an age limit on who pays fica taxes

In 2009, the IRS set annual Social Security wage base limit at $106,800 at 6.2%. That would make the maximum FICA withholdings $6,621.60.
In 2013, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax rate for employees was 7.65%, which included 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare. For self-employed individuals, the total FICA tax rate was 15.3%, as they are responsible for both the employee and employer portions. The Social Security tax applied only to income up to a certain wage base limit, which was $113,700 for that year.
The maximum amount of wages subject to the FICA-Social Security tax for 2009 is $106,800. There is no limit on the amount of wages subject to the FICA-Medicare tax.
False and True, in that order. FICA has limits, Fed inc doesn't.
That won't be known until the last quarter of 2009.
Yes, the FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) limit for Social Security taxes is based on your total earnings across all jobs within a calendar year. If you earn more than the Social Security wage base limit ($160,200 for 2023), any excess contributions from previous employment do not carry over; you will not owe additional FICA taxes once you exceed the limit. However, Medicare taxes do not have a wage base limit, so those contributions continue regardless of your total earnings.
Social Security retirement checks are subject to FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare taxes) unless an individual has already reached the maximum taxable earnings limit for the year. Once the maximum limit is reached, no further FICA taxes are deducted from the retirement checks.
If a person leaves one employer to go to work for another employer but has met the fica limit do they have to start a new limit with the new employer?
Still 6.2% for both employer & employee. Actually, that 6.2% is just for the social security tax portion of FICA. FICA consists of social security and medicare. The total FICA tax is 7.65%, which includes the 1.45% medicare tax. There is currently a limit on the social security tax portion (6.2% of $106,800--which is $6,621.60), while there is no medicare limitation.
