Payroll Tax Deferral – 6.2% Employer and 6.2% Employee

Effective For Payroll Paid Between 9/1/2020 and 12/31/2020

 

You will not have to withhold, deposit or pay either portion of the Social Security Tax (OSADI) for employees whose wages are less than $4,000 on a biweekly payroll or equivalent amount with respect to other pay periods.
