Who Is Responsible For Reporting My 2021 Earnings To Social Security?
still working full time wanting to know who is responsible for reporting my 2021 earnings to the social security. thanks david
Hi David. If you work for wages, then your employer is responsible for reporting your Social Security covered earnings to Social Security. However, if you're self-employed or an independent contractor, then you are responsible for reporting your earnings on Schedule SE of your tax return. The IRS then forwards that information to Social Security.
Best, Jerry
