SA Social Security/State Tax Questions
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2015 1:29 pm
So I've noticed on my first two paychecks (semi-monthly) that I've been taxed over $400 per pay period for social security tax. I know my social security tax liability is just over $1200 based on making $30,770 for the summer. Does the IRS refund over-withheld social security taxes along with federal income taxes, or is there something I can adjust to prevent them from over-withholding?
On a related note, does anyone know if the allowances claimed on the DE-4 (CA state income tax form) equate to the allowances on the W-4? I'm being majorly over-withheld by CA and would like to prevent giving the state an interest free loan if I can help it. On the DE-4 it says the CA FTB requires notice for anyone claiming more than 10 allowances, so I feel like putting 25ish allowances is frowned upon by HR.
Thanks in advance.
