Does FUTA taxes help fund the social security program?

No, FUTA (Federal Unemployment Tax Act) taxes do not fund the Social Security program. Instead, FUTA taxes are specifically designed to provide funds for unemployment insurance programs at both the federal and state levels.

How much money can you make at age 70 and have to pay taxes if your income is ss?

At age 70, if your income comes solely from Social Security benefits, you may not owe federal income taxes if your total income is below certain thresholds. For individuals, if your combined income (including half of your Social Security benefits) is below $25,000, you generally won't pay taxes on your benefits. However, if your income exceeds this threshold, you could be taxed on up to 85% of your Social Security benefits. It's important to consider other sources of income as well, since they can affect your tax liability.


What is the definition of employer's payroll taxes?

Employer's payroll taxes are taxes that employers are required to pay based on their employees' wages. These taxes typically include Social Security and Medicare taxes, as well as federal and state unemployment taxes. Unlike employee payroll deductions, which are withheld from employees' paychecks, employer payroll taxes are the responsibility of the employer and are calculated as a percentage of employee earnings. These taxes help fund various social programs and unemployment benefits.
