New tax limits?
Of all the social security changes, we are finally talking about taxes. This is something many people want to get more info about, and we are here to deliver. In 2025, the maximum income subject to Social Security taxes will rise to $176,100, up $7,500 from the 2024 limit of $168,600. This is a huge change that was made to reflect the adjustments for inflation, and experts expect it to rise again next year in 2026.
The wage cap works in a simple way. Every year, Social Security taxes are taken out of your paycheck up to a certain income limit. In case you earn more than $176,100 in 2025, you will not need to pay Social Security taxes on any income above that amount.
This means that if you have an annual income of $200,000, Social Security taxes will only apply to the first $176,100 you earn. Despite all of this, Medicare taxes will still apply to all your earnings, as there’s no income limit for those taxes.
Social Security changes are such a big thing because, for example, this wage cap we were talking about affects how benefits are calculated. Because Social Security benefits are dependent on how much you earn up to the taxable limit, increasing them means that higher-income taxpayers will contribute more and may receive larger benefits in retirement.

So when the Biden Administration lied about our inflation rate, our COLA stays low…
Everything doubled and tripled in price over Trump 45… Thanks Joe… In fact thanks for all these things… More stupid stuff Trump needs to fix… Good news is we have at least 4 affordable years coming now…
when will no tax on ss go into effect!!
Interesting that major changes occur when “baby boomers” are seeking to receive SSA based on an assured plan that others have enjoyed. I have always believed that SSA problem is the free funds given away called SSI. Most recipients of SSI have NOT paid a penny into the system but yet they collect money based on COL increases.
Some are just born w/birth defects due to Mom drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, life style choices and lack of prenatal care; some receive & never worked because of addictions that have them handicapped; some may have paid in system but due to handicap from wrong choices not enough paid in due to poor work history for SSA. legitimate hard working people who paid faithfully are penalized because of where they worked yet they paid SSA faithfully. the system is NOW unfair, people are being cheated and no one (politicians esp.) care as they do not need SSA. What a real trick or
lie the Government has successfully played on baby boomers!

The government spent our taxes but now I cannot pay my bills and groceries. They don’t care as long as they get their $180,000 a year. Probably never worked a day punching a clock. Let’s not even talk about spouses. We are paying taxes for them to have face lifts. They don’t have to worry about anything. Suicide is better than living $1200.00 a month you’ll see a lot of our seniors make this decision. It’s bad out here!!!
Well it seems like no matter what you do to make yourself happy you can always do something to make yourself feel better. The people in this world who are making all of these erroneous decisions are not thinking about all of us only their select group of people that they want to be part of the injustice of the world to continuously make themselves better and the rest of us just suffer. We all should have equality the same way as everyone else in the world. Being a senior is not a privilege but a right to choose to be treated equally as others. Sometimes we cannot go and get employed because of our abilities to be treated differently than others but we are entitled to our rights and freedoms to choose what we want and what we need.
Social Security should Not be taxed, it’s our money!
I dont get enough to ever retire. I will die at work. At 67will go back full time I started drawing at 63because at 67 my payment would have been 1,450.00 or so which is not enough to get by. I started drawing at 63 and plan never to retire. So just keep sending my check and you won’t hear from me again because all my questions have been answered. I will leave my email and name if you ever have any questions for me feel free. PS. You should let me buy real supplements with flex cards, such as super greens or balance of nature red and green. Thank You. Sincerly, Ronald F. Sullivan Jr
