Here's why you'll need to prepare for a smaller paycheck in 2021
Didn't Trump promise bigger paychecks?
Looks like you might have to pay it all back, unless I've read it wrong? https://www.foxbusiness.com/money/he...ycheck-in-2021 |

As the story goes on to say, a campaign promise as been to rescind the future bill, that's ripe with other issues of subsequent consequences and probably can't be done only by executive order but would take authorizing legislation -- which, I'd guess wouldn't be forthcoming. If one were smart and weren't in such desperate straits that didn't seem any alternative but to accept it (which would seem if were still working so were getting payroll checks anyway would be the case) would been to just bank the extra knowing would have to make it up latter. I don't know if was possible to have refused and continued to have it taken out to avoid the future liability or not; haven't had a payroll check from an employer in 30+ years so not up on the rules...nor what specific provisions were in the CARES act deferral. Law of unintended consequences strikes again... -- |

Reports are that many companies never stopped collecting and processing the tax. So then, no diff either way. |

Do the math. That will be taxable income in 2020. Then, after paying tax, they take the 'interest free loan' back. That might be a sweet deal if you're one of Romney's 47% that doesn't pay taxes. |

Sounds great, right? Read it again: Since the aforementioned taxes are only being deferred, not forgiven completely, you'll need to repay them in 2021. Specifically, you'll have that extra tax withheld in equal installments between Jan. 1 and April 30 of 2021. Any tax not paid back by that point will begin to accrue interest and penalties. While your paychecks might get a short-term boost, they're going to get smaller in 2021, and you'll need to plan accordingly. |

It's not applicable to me at the moment so I haven't bothered researching it but I wonder if the 'self-employment' tax of 12.4% is also suspended. |

They can keep on knowing for all I care... I actually thought it was the employer that could defer their payments. My salary is direct deposit and I don't scrutinize my bank statement so I'll never know. I do know I got a stimulus check because for reasons unknown it was an actual paper check that I had to figure out how to deposit. |

The reality as I pointed out to Bob yesterday is they really need that money so it has to come from somewhere. It was always part of the plan that this was just a deferral ... AKA loan but it wasn't sold that way. Maybe Trump was planning on losing and he just put this poison pill in the drawer for Biden. |
