re: FICA withholding - 1099 contractor converted to w-2 employee

The social security wages from your W2 will be taken into account in this calculation so you won't pay over the max social security. Make sense?
Do the W2 contributions apply to the cap first even though my SE earnings were earlier in the year? I want my W2 wages to apply first, since my employer is paying half vs me paying all as self employed
re: FICA withholding - 1099 contractor converted to w-2 employee
Posted by sneakytiger on 9/17/24 at 2:06 pm to UpstairsComputer
I understand the cap from an employee standpoint, but my question is more from the employer and self employed perspective. In my mind I've already paid up to the cap for my 1099 earnings through estimated payments, but from what I've read, my estimated payments aren't earmarked as FICA contributions until I file my annual return.
FICA withholding - 1099 contractor converted to w-2 employee
Posted by sneakytiger on 9/17/24 at 1:39 pm
If a 1099 consultant is converted to a full time w-2 employee during the same year, do the employer's FICA contributions toward social security count toward the annual cap before any burden to the earlier portion of the year served as a 1099 contractor? Meaning if I max out SS contributions as a w-2 employee in the second half of the year, I make zero social security contributions for the first half of the year as a contractor?
re: Traveling with toddlers on a plane. Any tips?
Posted by sneakytiger on 8/9/24 at 10:51 pm to DiamondDog
Bring car seats on the plane to keep them restrained and help them nap. I've flown a million times with my kids and when they were 3 and under it worked great. Buy cheap, lightweight cosco ones from Walmart if you don't want to lug your normal ones onto the plane.

We get close to itemizing with property taxes and charitable donations, but $30-40k of HELOC interest would push us into itemized, easily.

Thanks, that's why I posted this here. We bank with JPM and they offer this but we don't hold any taxable accounts with them... Mostly concentrated with VG but some at Fidelity and Schwab too. Either way HELOC might still be a winner since I can deduct the interest on my federal return without any phase out through 2025 at least. Do brokerages charge to hold the line of credit open if you don't use it?

Thanks folks - I had no idea the heloc market was so big and accessible
Origination costs for construction loans were sickening and I also didn't want to deal with any more red tape than I have to. We will put a permanent mortgage in place on the new build once we've completed construction and sold the old house.

I could pay for all of it cash if I needed to, but I'm trying to avoid that. I've talked to all the folks you mentioned... Just polling the board for other ideas.
