Myth No.5 - The tax on Social Security benefits isn't enough to worry about. Modestly affluent seniors now pay tax on up to 85% of benefits. For example, an affluent senior has 85% of a $20,000 annual benefit taxed at a 25% marginal federal tax rate. The tax on benefits is $4,250 ($20,000 X .85 X .25).
The program is funded through tax withholdings. In 2017, Social Security withholding is 6.2% of the employee's gross pay. The employee must pay this until they reach the wage base limit. Earnings above the wage base limit are generally not subject to social security tax. The wage base limit for 2017 is $127,200.
