Request to withhold taxes
Submit a request to pay taxes on your Social Security benefit throughout the year instead of paying a large bill at tax time.
You will pay federal income taxes on your benefits if your combined income (50% of your benefit amount plus any other earned income) exceeds $25,000/year filing individually or $32,000/year filing jointly. You can pay the IRS directly or have taxes withheld from your payment.
Mail or fax us a request to withhold taxes
Download Form W-4 V: Voluntary Withholding Request from the IRS' website. Then, find the Social Security office closest to your home and mail or fax us the completed form.
