ARE YOU LOOKING TO ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF FEDERAL TAX WITHHELD FROM YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS? 

Follow these two simple steps:

• Complete IRS Form W-4V: Unlike Form W-4, which is for employer use, Form W-4V is specifically designed for government payments such as Social Security or Unemployment. Your tax counselor can provide guidance on the appropriate percentage to withhold.

• Submit the Form: Print the completed Form W-4V and send it to your local Social Security Office. You can either mail it or fax it; unfortunately, online submission is not available at this time. To find the correct Social Security office, use the online Locator based on your home zip code. In case the Locator link is not functional, refer to the Social Security office associated with the county of your residence.
