    How can I find out if my W-4v actions have taken?

    • V.V.

      Hi Jim, thanks for using our blog. The best way to check and maintain your benefits is in your personal my Social Security account. If you do not already have an account, you can create one. Once you are logged in to your account, select the “Benefit and Payment Details” tab. You can view and print your monthly payment amount, your payment schedule and your next payment date. If you are unable to create a my Social Security account or do not want to request it online, you can call us at 1-800-772-1213 for assistance or you can contact your local Social Security office. Please look for the general inquiry telephone number at the Social Security Office Locator. The number may appear under Show Additional Office Information. Please be aware that our call wait times are longer than normal. We hope this information helps.

    How do I get a W4V form. I have looked on the website but cannot find the form.

    • V.V.

      Hi Charles, thanks for using our blog. To sign up, change or cancel voluntary tax withholding, complete Form W-4V. You can download the form or call the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-3676 and ask for Form W-4V. When you complete the form, you can choose to have 7, 10, 12, or 22 percent of your monthly benefit withheld for taxes. Complete, sign and return the form to your local Social Security office by mail. Use the Social Security Office Locator to find your local office mailing address.

      See our Benefits Planner: Withholding Income Tax From Your Social Security Benefits for more information.

      Hi, Stanley. In order to have taxes withheld from your Social Security benefit, you must start by printing, completing and submitting an IRS Voluntary Withholding Request Form (Form W-4V). On this form, you can choose to have 7, 10, 12, or 22 percent of your monthly benefit withheld. The Form W-4V (to withhold federal taxes from your Social Security benefits) can be returned to your local Social Security office by mail or in person. See our Benefits Planner: Withholding Income Tax From Your Social Security Benefits web page for more information. We hope this helps.

    Phone call to change the amount of voluntary withholding from his SSA monthly check: After my husband Donald waited over 40 minutes to speak with someone at SSA, he was informed he had to wait for a form and mail it in.
    The form W-4V I was able to print out online for him, but now seems that it needs to be hand delivered to the SSA office. How else can he make this change? If he ever did have an online account he does not know it, nor ever wrote info down.
