General Withholding Requirement: New Jersey gross income tax generally must be withheld from wages paid to resident employees for services performed either within or without the state and from wages paid to nonresident employees for services performed in the state.owever, when resident employees perform all their services outside the state, their wages are subject to New Jersey withholding only to the extent the New Jersey tax exceeds the other state's withholding tax on the same wages.
Limits on Social Security Withholding The current Social Security withholding tax rate is 6.2 percent. Employers are required to withhold 6.2 percent, and to pay an additional and matching 6.2 percent, on all income amounts up to $106,800. Therefore, Social Security taxes must be withheld, from an employee's paycheck, until the amount withheld reaches the $6621.60. This is the amount that employees must pay into the system, and also the amount that employers must make in matching contributions.
