FICA Taxes. FICA taxes are the combined total of Social Security and Medicare taxes you pay on certain sources of income. These taxes are withheld at flat percentage rates, based on your total earnings subject to FICA. FICA payments withheld are converted to credits and posted to your Social Security account. These credits determine the amount of Social Security benefits you receive during retirement.
