   I just had my taxes done and the CPA told me to increase my withholding tax. Can I make this increase on-line?
   I saw that you have to complete W-4V request, but it has no address to send it to.
   I did the original tax on line and want to know if this is possible to increase on line.

     Hi, Paulette. 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.

     Hi, James. Thanks for checking in with us. Generally, we will only contact you if you have requested a call or have ongoing business with us. Recently, scams—misleading victims into making cash or gift card payments to avoid arrest for Social Security number problems—have skyrocketed. Our employees will never threaten you for information or promise a benefit in exchange for personal information or money.

     If you receive a suspicious call like this: 1) Hang up. 2) Do not provide personal information, money, or retail gift cards. 3) Report suspicious calls here. For more information on how to protect yourself, check out our Frequently Asked Questions. We hope this helps.

     Hi, James. We are sorry to hear about your loss. In some instances, the financial institution will automatically return payments upon notification of the beneficiary’s death. Typically, the funeral director notifies us of an individual’s passing by sending proof of death to the local Social Security office. Please call our toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 to report this payment. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. You can also call your local Social Security office. Thanks.
