For most employees in the United States, 1.45% of their wages goes to Medicare. However, high-income earners may be subject to an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax. Employers also contribute 1.45% of wages for Medicare on behalf of their employees.
No, long term private disability income is not subject to FICA, as it is considered a disability benefit and not earned income. FICA taxes are typically applied to wages and certain other types of income.
Individuals with earned income, either through self-employment for a Keogh plan or through wages for an IRA, are eligible to contribute. There may be additional eligibility requirements based on income levels or participation in other retirement plans.
To contribute to a traditional IRA, you must be under age 70 1/2 at the end of the tax year. You, and/or your spouse if you file a joint return, must have taxable compensation, such as wages, salaries, commissions, tips, bonuses, or net income from self-employment. Taxable alimony and separate maintenance payments received by an individual are treated as compensation for IRA purposes. Compensation does not include earnings and profits from property, such as rental income, interest and dividend income or any amount received as pension or annuity income, or as deferred compensation.
Well, honey, FICA taxes are like that annoying relative who never leaves - they stick around no matter how old you are. So yes, even if you're sipping margaritas on a beach at 70, you'll still be forking over those FICA taxes if you're earning income. Age ain't nothing but a number to the taxman!
No - the surviving spouse is not liable for the deceased person's bills !
Yes. Texas is a community property state, and all income earned by both spouses is property of the community. Because of this, technically your wages are also his wages and the IRS can go after them.
In some instances, yes they can. Is the spouse listed on the debt? An example would be a joint loan or credit card. If so, that makes the spouse legally liable for the debt. If not, then no, the wages cannot be garnished because the spouse is not legally liable for the debt.
Yes. However, the Consumer Credit Protection Act limits the amount. Your wages can be garnished up to a maximum of 50% to cover child and/or spousal support if you are supporting another spouse or child. If you are not supporting another child and/or spouse, up to 60% of your wages can be garnished. Generally, no more than 25 percent of a person's wages is garnished.
Based on what? I sincerely doubt it.
No one If you have no one else in the family that works then you won't earn anything but if say your husband for example was still working then he would earn wages.
Washington State, Can they garnish my pay check because my spouse wages are being garnished to pay off a credit card debt.
no... not her/his child ....that is called innocent spouse and the wages of a spouse that is not responsible for someone else's child when it is not biologically theirs.
Generally, garnishments go off of a percentage of your and/or your spouse's income.
That depends on the nature of the debt and the laws of your state. You should seek the advice of an attorney to discuss your exposure.
If you were married at the date of service for a necessary bill and are found unable to pay and yet the spouse has the ability to pay then Yes the spouse can be held responsible.
Yes and no. It depends on the state that you live in. See an attorney.
