Yes if you made over $14,160 in 2009 you will have to pay Social Security back. To figure out how much you went over, subtract 14,160 from how much you made, then divide by 2, and divide that number by your check amount. Round this number up. That is how many checks for the year you were not due. You should call to report it as soon as possible. Eventually your earnings will show up in their computer system.

Do I have to return my mother's social security check when she dies?
Yes. Social Security checks are non-transferable, so you can't legally keep the check. You need to write "void" on the face and either mail it to the Social Security Administration or drop it off at your local field office.
If you are considered next of kin, SSA may ultimately issue a portion or all of her last benefit to you, but you need to fill out form SSA-1724 and apply under your own name.

Who do you contact if a person is using a dead persons social security number?
If you want it to commit identity theft or fraud, then please go ask the FBI. You'll know whether you're asking for the right reasons based on whether they arrest you or not.
If the deceased person wanted you to know their social security number they probably would have made you executor of their will or told you while they were still alive. If they die intestate maybe you could contact the administrator of their estate (who will hopefully ask the FBI to meet you at your house to make it more convenient for you).
Is ssi the same social security?
No. "SSDI" --- as you stated "SSI" --- is for those who have applied for (some) disability. SSA, applies to those who have reached the age of 65, with no disabilities. Everyone qualifies for SSA when they're 65, regardless of your health. That is my finding, in having both SSDI (SSI) and have SSA.
I may well have misunderstood your post, because you referred to "SSI". And you should have posted 'SSA", and yes it is the same as "social security". SSA is the same as Social Secuity. Downloaded to your bank and placed as a deposit, monthly by the Treasury Department.

What is the tax form needed for a spouse who doesn't have a social security number?
If your spouse is eligible for a social security number, you need to contact Social Security to complete Form ss-5(Application for a Social Security Card), which is a Social Security Administration form.

Stimulus Act rebate checks will only be sent to those filing a 2007 tax return
IR 2008-18; Fact Sheet 2008-15; Fact Sheet 2008-16; Treasury Fact Sheet
IRS has issued a barrage of information explaining how individuals will receive the rebate they're entitled to under the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 (Stimulus Act). The key guidance is that individuals will have to file a Form 1040 or 1040A for 2007 to get a rebate in 2008, even if they are not otherwise required to file a 2007 return because of low income. Separately, Treasury issued a Fact Sheet carrying 28 examples of how individuals will be affected by the rebates. [For more information, you can follow this link to the IRS website: http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=177937,00.html ] No extra paperwork for most individuals. IRS stresses that most people won't have to take any extra steps to be entitled to a Stimulus Act refund, which IRS will begin mailing in May of 2008, or transmitting via direct deposit, for those selecting that option when filing their 2007 returns. IRS will use the 2007 tax return to determine eligibility and calculate the basic amount of the payment. In most cases, the payment will equal the amount of tax liability on the return with a maximum amount of $600 for individuals ($1,200 for taxpayers who file a joint return) and a minimum of $300 for individuals ($600 for taxpayers who file a joint return). Parents and anyone else eligible for a stimulus rebate will also receive an additional $300 for each qualifying child. The rebates are reduced by 5% of adjusted gross income (AGI) in excess of $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for those who are married and file jointly. Return filing burden for lower-income individuals. Even those individuals who have little or no tax liability may qualify for a minimum payment of $300 ($600 if filing a joint return) if their tax return reflects $3,000 or more in qualifying income, which consists of earned income (e.g., wages, net self-employment income) as well as Social Security or certain Railroad Retirement benefits and veterans' disability compensation, pension or survivors' benefits received from the Department of Veterans' Affairs in 2007. Many of these individuals normally wouldn't have to file a 2007 return because their incomes are below the filing thresholds, but they will have to file a return in order to receive a rebate. Where necessary, the following benefits (in any combination) must be reported on Line 20a of Form 1040 or Line 14a of the Form 1040A to meet the qualifying income requirement: * Social Security benefits reported on the 2007 Form 1099-SSA, which individuals should have received in January 2008. Those who do not have a Form 1099 may estimate their annual Social Security benefit by taking their monthly benefit and multiplying it by the number of months during the year they received the benefits. * Railroad Retirement benefits reported on the 2007 Form 1099-RRB, which should have been received in January 2008. * The sum of veterans' disability compensation, pension or survivors' benefits received from the Department of Veterans' Affairs in 2007. Individuals may estimate their annual benefit by taking their monthly annual veterans' benefit and multiplying it by the number of months during the year they received benefits.
IRS cautioned that Line 20a of Form 1040 and Line 14a of the Form 1040A are designated for Social Security. To qualify for the economic stimulus payments, these lines should also be used to include any qualifying Railroad Retirement or veterans' benefits. When an amended return will have to be filed. Those lower-income individuals who filed a 2007 tax return reporting at least $3,000 in qualifying income don't need to do anything else to get their stimulus rebate. However, others may have to amend a previously filed tax return (using Form 1040X) to include benefits to reach the $3,000 qualifying income level, for example, benefits such as Social Security payments that weren't taxable under the Code Sec. 86 rules. IRS stressed that adding these benefits on an amended tax return won't increase an individual's tax liability but simply will establish eligibility for the stimulus payment. Exclusions. IRS reminded individuals that: * Those who file Form 1040NR, 1040PR or 1040SS are not eligible for stimulus payments. These returns are normally filed by Nonresident Aliens, residents of Puerto Rico and residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Residents of U.S. possessions will be receiving their rebates directly from the possessions. * Those who can be claimed as dependents on someone else's return aren't eligible for stimulus payments. * Dividends, interest and capital gains income is not included when determining qualifying income. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not count as qualifying income for the stimulus payment. Also not included in qualifying income are non-veterans or non-Social Security pension income (such as those from individual retirement accounts (IRAs)). * Stimulus payments will be subject to offset against outstanding tax and non-tax liabilities in the same way as regular tax refunds.
In addition, the IRS emphasized the stimulus payments will not count toward or negatively impact any other income-based government benefits, such as Social Security benefits, food stamps and other programs. Expect notices from IRS. Most taxpayers will receive two notices from IRS (presumably after they have filed the 2007 return). The first will be a general notice explaining the stimulus payment program. The second will confirm the recipients' eligibility, the payment amount and the approximate time table for the payment. Taxpayers are told to save the second notice to assist them when they prepare their 2008 tax return next year. IRS also advised individuals who move after they file their 2007 tax return to notify the IRS by filing Form 8822, Change of Address, and also notify the Post Office
Creditors can sue the debtor to recover monies owed, what property they can attach depends upon the laws of the state in which the debtor resides. All Social Security benefits and most pension benefits are exempt from creditor attachment. For the majority of consumers the homestead exemption is the most important; in some states the homestead exemption is automatically granted by law, in others a homestead declaration must be filed with the county recorder's office to protect the primary residence from creditor action.
What is the tax rate for Social Security?
12.4%. One-half, 6.2%, is withheld from wages. The other half is paid by the employer.
The employee tax rate for social security is 6.2% (amount withheld). The employer tax rate for social security is also 6.2% (12.4% total). The 2008 wage base limit was $102,000; it increased to $108,600 in 2009, and will remain at that base through 2011.
FICA contributions, including various sub (categories of things like SS, Disability, Health, etc) are 15.30% of FICA wages. What is considered FICA wages differ from other wage considerations in many ways, (it has a top limit that changes regularly of about 97.5K, how pension contributions factored, State taxes, etc.).
If you are an employee, the employer MUST pay half of the contribution (so you only directly pay 7.65%). If you're self-employed, the amount normally paid by the employer is collected through something called the "self-employment tax" when you file your income tax return.
Can I Receive disability social security after receiving social security?
Once you reach retirement age, your Social Security Disability benefits convert to regular retirement benefits, payable at the same rate. You cannot collect an additional amount due to disability.
It is possible that you could qualify for the SSI supplemental security income, which is based on disability and income, in addition to your month Social Security benefit, but this is a different program and is not administered by the SSA.
The amount of SSI paid is adjusted monthly based on what the person was able to earn in that month.
I'm curious to find out if using non-beaking hyphens in all this situations would be correct or not.
