Paying taxes on Social Security

Adjusting your withholdings W-4 is the way to go as your social security is continuous.   Here is a link to tax caster to assist in generating your W-4:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/taxcaster/

 

Keep in mind the tax tables will be updated for 2024 accordingly.   It is also a good idea to check your withholdings to date anytime.

 

Submit a request to pay taxes on your Social Security benefit throughout the year instead of paying a large bill at tax time.

Have an amazing day. Evelyn M (CPA 20+ years)
