SOCIAL SECURITY TAX DEFERRAL
Military members, effective for the September mid-month pay, DFAS will temporarily defer the withholding of your 6.2% Social Security tax if your monthly rate of basic pay is less than $8,666.66.
Per IRS guidance, collection of the deferred taxes will be taken from your wages between January 1 and April 30, 2021 for both military members and civilian employees...which means you will have to pay it back! We recommend you set it aside! For more information, please see https://www.dfas.mil/taxes/Social-Security-Deferral/fbclid/IwAR0Ubuy8qzpa29h7lZrTZfBiB93PzBVVFKTvbd8aiEDmMjuh2XHcjgpCfXo/
