The Social Security tax rate is assessed on all types of income earned by an employee including salaries, wages, and bonuses. However, there is an income limit to which the tax rate is applied. For 2017, the Social Security tax is taken from income up to an annual limit of $127,200. Any amount earned above $127,200 is Social Security tax-free.
The Internal Revenue Service says you can figure out whether you have to pay taxes on Social Security by adding half of your annual benefit to your other income. If the total is more than $32,000 and you file a joint return, some of your benefits must be reported as taxable income on your tax return.
