You Earned It, You Keep It Act
The "You Earned It, You Keep It Act" (HR 7084) establishes a $250,000 annual income threshold for Social Security taxes. Income above this threshold will no longer be subject to Social Security taxes but will still count toward Social Security benefits. This affects high earners who would have paid Social Security taxes on income above the current wage base. The bill also includes special rules for workers with multiple employers and applies to calendar years after 2024.
