What is the FICA withholding limit for 2011 and 2012?
$106,800The tax is payable on the first $106,800 of earnings. Earning are defined slightly differently for this than what is used for withholding, (or other things). Additionally, a portion of what was a total of 15.3% tax (half employer paid, half employee), is dedicated to Medicaid and has no maximum earnings.HOWEVER:Under current law, employees pay a 6.2% Social Security tax on all wages earned up to $106,800 (in 2011) and self-employed individuals pay 12.4% Social Security self-employment taxes on all their self-employment income up to the same threshold.For 2011, the Senate passed 2010 Tax Reform Act gives a two-percentage-point payroll/self-employment tax holiday for employees and self-employeds. As a result, employees will pay only 4.2% Social Security tax on wages and self-employment individuals will pay only 10.4% Social Security self-employment taxes on self-employment income up to the threshold.Adding info for 2012:Generally, FICA taxes are collected at a rate of 7.65% on gross earnings, which are earnings before any deductions are taken.

Your husband and you draw Social Security and have tax taken out before you receive your check When you file your taxes do you have to again pay taxes on that money?
When you file you will calculate the correct amount of taxes that you actually owe. If not enough was taken out, you will have to pay more. If too much was taken out, you will get a refund. Yes the tax you had withheld is taxable...the entire amount you receive, whether you put it in a savings account at the bank, or one with the IRS is taxable. Tax due isn't deductible from taxable income...that would be circular.
