Companies can stop withholding employees' payroll taxes starting September 1, although workers will have to pay the taxes by the end of April 2021.

Although Trump's action was signed weeks earlier, the guidance was delayed as the White House looked into whether it was possible to waive workers' taxes entirely rather than deferring them to next year. The answer from the Internal Revenue Service was no, employees are still on the hook for paying their taxes next year.

"Many of our members consider it unfair to employees to make a decision that would force a big tax bill on them next year,"

You can choose to pay your income taxes later than usual

This really only helps super financially savvy people that are probably avoiding taxes anyway

Trump wrote a memorandum (not an executive order) that was advertised as "you won't have to pay federal income tax (for regular jobs) for the rest of the year!"

In reality, the president doesn't have that authority. Because it's not sure if Congress would even fully forgive those taxes or not, a ton of companies are erring on the side of caution and continuing to withhold the income taxes.

Imagine if they didn't withhold the taxes now, then at the end of the year it's like "oh shit you gotta pay them", a ton of people would end up with no or very little paycheck.

FICA needs to be ended anyway, and just rolled into general revenue.

I really hope we don't do it. I'd rather pay the taxes now then get a big bill come tax time. I work for the federal government so it will be interesting to see if they listen to Trump's order or not. I really hope they don't, though.

FICA and income tax are entirely different things, so it all suddenly coming due in April 2021 makes no sense

If my company does it and doesn't give me the option to be taxed normally I'm just gonna set it all into a separate savings account and pay it back in April.

Such a dumb fucking idea but what more can you expect from a Republican president

It's not worthless to Trump, since his aim is to gut Social Security

This serves his more immediate goal of tricking people into thinking he's getting them more money so he gets more votes, because they don't take a minute to research what's going on first.

Payroll tax starts at $0.01. The absolute bottom of the income pile are killed by FICA long before income tax.

Why do agencies think deferrals are a valid way to handle the upcoming financial crisis? At best, it only delays the inevitable
