  Can I have state or local tax withheld from my Social Security benefit?
  Question
  Can I have state or local tax withheld from my Social Security benefit?
  Answer
 

No.  The Social Security Administration has no authority to withhold state or local taxes from your benefit.  Many states and local authorities do not tax Social Security benefits.  You should contact your state or local taxing authority for more information.
