Question

An EE who works for more than one ER and has exceeded the SS wage base may:

A. Get a refund on their personal income tax return
B. Demand that the ER refund the coverage
C. Apply the Social Security tax to next year's withholdings
D. Apply the overage to benefits paid at age 65

Answer 1

An employee who surpasses the Social Security wage base with multiple employers may get a refund on their personal income tax return for any overpaid Social Security taxes. The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an employee (EE) works for more than one employer (ER) and has exceeded the Social Security (SS) wage base, they may: Get a refund on their personal income tax return. When multiple employers are involved, it's possible that the combined amount of Social Security tax withheld exceeds the maximum amount that should have been withheld, as there is a cap on the taxable wage base.

If this happens, the employee can claim a refund for the excess amount when they file their federal income tax return. Options B, demanding a refund from the employer, C, applying Social Security tax to next year's withholdings, and D, applying the overage to benefits paid at age 65, are not standard procedures for handling overpayment of Social Security taxes.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
