I don't think the social security tax is optional in any way, shape or form for a w2 employee (only if you are 1099). Just sayin.
I was a w2er once. Everything is optional. You pay, you play. Don't cry for benefits later if you don't save.
Social security is 100% mandatory. It is not possible to exempt yourself on the w-2. I've been paying into the social security system since I got my first job and itll all be gone when I'm ready to receive the benefits
This is incorrect, I have paid in maybe 7 years to ss in my career. S.S. is purely optional; I actually need to go clean out what I have in there. Thinking I may need a new toy of some kind in the future. However, if you're not a saver or a good planner, you may be penny less when it comes time to retire.
Social security deductions are not optional for people who w2.
OK, maybe I was just the only one that slipped through the crack. Have you ever read the s.s. information? Perhaps you should, very interesting stuff, will make you head swell with knowledge. I just grew up knowing I didn't have to pay for anything I don't want to partake in. Why s.s. if there is welfare anyhow, think about that.
