Re: Welcome to the Fiscal Cliff. Just received this notice from payroll dept...
Important changes to your tax withholding amounts effective January 1, 2013

The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 that was signed into law in December 2010 will expire on December 31, 2012. What this means to you:

· The temporary 2% cut in employee Social Security withholding (from 6.2% to 4.2%) effective on January 1, 2011, will expire, and the rate will change back to 6.2%.

· The Social Security wage base is increasing from $110,100 to $113,700, resulting in the maximum tax being increased from $4,624.20 to $7,049.40.

· In addition, the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act of 2010 increases the Medicare part A payroll tax by 0.9% (from 1.45% to 2.35%) for all income above $200,000.
Other possible changes effective January 1, 2013:

Tax-related provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) also are set to expire on December 31, 2012 impacting Federal Income Tax withholding. What this means:

· The 10% income tax bracket is eliminated; the lowest bracket will be 15%. The top four brackets will change as shown below. To:

25% to 28%
28% to 31%
33% to 36%
35% to 39.6%

· Optional flat rate tax on Supplemental Wages up to $1 million in a year increases from 25% to 28%.

· Mandatory flat rate on Supplemental Wages over $1 million in a year increases from 35% to 39.6%.

The information above reflects the legislation currently in effect. If the laws change, we will send an update as early as possible in January 2013.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25720208


OK, I know I'm not an American, but the wages they are giving as examples here are so far above what we make together as a couple, never mind alone, that I struggle to comprehend. $100,000.00 and $113,000.00 for wages... Dam, sign me up! I'd need a telescope to see those wages, based on where I am.
Can someone clarify, if this truly is considered a "base" wage, because I can assure you, that is considered a VERY high wage here.

Agreed! And it WILL happen, when Obama decides that he's not getting enough blood out of us turnips!

And then, what will happen to all of those businesses which thought they were being so smart in knocking their employees down to "part-time" status to avoid Obamacare?

Obama has already proven to be quite fluid in his definition of "rich" - he keeps making it lower. There is no doubt that he wil do the same with "part-time" and "full-time".

Calling it a "Fiscal Cliff" is a poor analogy

We went over the fiscal cliff 3 years ago , its why we no longer have a "AAA" credit rating.

What we are seeing now is the "Bottom of the fiscal cliff".

We either wind up with huge tax increases on the middle class , or we see massive devaluation of the dollar ( which also screws over the middle class )

Pick your poison.
