[QUOTE="Ahxmed, post: 320751, member: 4"] [JUSTIFY]A temporary tax reduction on unemployment benefits up to $10,200 was included in the American Rescue Plan Act, which was passed by Congress last year. After this tax loophole ends next year, unemployment benefits will be taxed in full in 2021 and 2022. The state will issue you a Form 1099-G if you are eligible for unemployment benefits. Your total yearly unemployment benefits will be shown here. Unemployment benefits are taxable income if you get them. Federal law mandates that unemployed people's checks be taxed the same way as regular people's do. You will get a Form 1099-G from the state that is responsible for paying your unemployment benefits. This document will include the entire amount of money you were paid as well as the federal and state income taxes that were deducted. You can either fill out the form and submit it online or by mail. Whether or not you have to pay federal taxes on your unemployment benefits will depend on your total income and tax bracket. Your W-2 income will include this amount, so be sure to include it when filing your taxes for 2022. Congress passed a law last year that temporarily stopped taxes from being taken out of unemployment benefits. After a one-year break, unemployment benefits will once again be fully taxed in 2022. [B]Taxes on Earnings at the State Level[/B] In addition to the federal income tax, residents of the state must also pay the state's own income tax. Some states impose a uniform rate of taxation on all residents, while others have a variety of rates (called progressive tax rates) that increase as your income does. Wages and salaries are just one part of taxable income that is subject to taxation in many states. A total of eight states don't tax personal income: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. For example, New Hampshire doesn't tax personal income, but it does add 5% to interest and dividends. However, additional taxes may be imposed by certain municipalities. [B]Taxes for Social Security[/B] One of two federal payroll taxes that are shared between employers and workers is the Social Security Tax. In order to pay for retirees' benefits right now, it contributes to a general fund. Social Security taxes are placed in a general fund that is used to pay all Social Security benefits for current retirees, unlike 401(k) contributions, which are taken from an employee's paycheck and deposited to their own personal retirement account. [B]Because of this, it's crucial to learn the ins and outs of the Social Security tax.[/B] The tax is progressive, as can be shown, meaning that those with lower incomes contribute a larger share of their income than those with higher incomes do. Those in the lowest wage bands contribute a smaller portion of their income to Social Security than those in higher wage brackets. [B]Funding for Medicare is subject to a tax.[/B] Medicare is a tax on wages that helps pay for part of the Federal Health Insurance Program. It includes hospitalization coverage, nursing home care, hospice care, and home health aide coverage. It's a type of tax under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) that both employers and employees must pay. The Medicare and Social Security programs that benefit the public are made possible by payroll taxes paid by employees and employers. In addition to the Social Security and Medicare taxes that your employer takes out of your pay, your Medicare tax will also be taken out. The Medicare tax rate in 2022 is 1.45%, and your employer will likely contribute an additional 1.45%. If your annual salary is over $200,000 in 2022 (or $250,000 for a married couple filing jointly), you'll have to pay an Additional Medicare Tax of 0.9%. The Affordable Care Act would be impossible without the revenue raised by these levies. Maintaining an accurate record of your income can help you avoid a nasty tax surprise at year's end.
