Although you are not required to have Federal taxes withheld from your Social Security benefit, you may find that easier than paying quarterly estimated tax payments.
To have Federal taxes withheld, or to change your original withholding request, you will need to:
- complete IRS Form W-4V,
- select the percentage (7, 10, 15, or 25) of your monthly benefit amount you want withheld,
- sign and return the form to your local Social Security office by mail or in person.
You may obtain IRS Form W-4V from the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4v.pdf or by calling the IRS toll-free number, 1-800-829-3676. You may also obtain the form by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our toll-free TTY number, 1-800-325-0778, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Monday through Friday.
