Dear Maria,

Haven’t you figured it out yet – all wages are taxable. Unfortunately.

Tell you what, let’s look at a copy of the W-2 you’re going to get.

You can see that the Medicare Wages are shown in Box 5 of your W-2 .
They are subject to  Medicare taxes at the rate of 1.45% of all your wages. There is no limit.

The Social Security Wages on shown in Box 3 of your W-2 are subject to  Social Security taxes
at the rate of 6.2%. That stops at $90,000 for 2005

The Wages, Tips and Other Compensation on shown in Box 1 of  your W-2 are subject to  Federal Income Taxes at your personal tax rate. And while the withholding taken by your payroll department will be based on the number of exemptions you’ve claimed, the actual tax may be higher – or lower if you don’t understand how the exemptions work.
