The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS recently issued guidance on implementing the presidential memorandum<\/a> issued on August 8, 2020, allowing employers to defer withholding and payment of the employee’s portion of the Social Security tax if the employee’s wages are below a certain amount.<\/p>\n

Notice 2020-65<\/a> makes relief available for employers and generally applies to wages paid starting Sept. 1, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2020.<\/p>\n

The employee Social Security tax deferral may apply to payments of taxable wages to an employee that are less than $4,000 during a bi-weekly pay period, with each pay period considered separately. No deferral is available for any payment to an employee of taxable wages of $4,000 or above for a bi-weekly pay period.<\/p>\n

The notice also postponed the time for employers to withhold and pay employee Social Security taxes.\u00a0Additional\u00a0tax relief related to the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>\u00a0can be found on IRS.gov. For more information, visit the Intuit\u00ae Accountants COVID-19 Resource Center<\/a>, as well as Intuit Tax Pro Center’s articles on the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
