You misread the IRS form that you think demonstrates that. It is not doing anything of the sort.
Comment on Social Security can be saved. Scrap the cap!
musicalphysics@discuss.online 2 weeks agoI already posted the IRS form that demonstrates that fact.
There is a wrinkle that during the year until your received income actually exceeds the max you pay in. After that though the IRS will return the money when you file.

Your claim arises not from a calculation on how much social security tax can be claimed. It comes from misreading a worksheet calculating deductions from self employment tax. You’re seeing a “zero” entry on one line of that worksheet and claiming it means you don’t pay social security taxes. You don’t seem to realize that the deduction calculates how much social security tax you pay, and increases the deduction based on that amount.
When you reach $184,500 of income, you do not pay any additional social security tax. You don’t pay any social security tax on the additional income above $184,500. You do pay social security tax on the income up to and including $184,500.
If you follow the worksheet, it will only allow you to deduct the amount of social security tax you actually pay, which means you are not allowed to deduct any additional social security tax on income over $184,500.

It isn’t an additional tax document. If y’all are unable to understand reality I am not wasting more time on you. Believe all the lies you want.

Have you heard of Schedule C? It’s mentioned at the bottom of page 9 in the pdf you linked. But please, do keep doubling down.

Unlike you I can actually read and follow the basic math steps in calculating the tax for social security. If income is above the max, per page 9, then the social security tax is 0. Goodbye.
