Social Security Tax Clarified by Fort Dodge Official
In a Graettinger Times note, Clifford W. Swedlund, manager of the Fort Dodge Social Security office, explains the federal social security tax remains at one percent for both employee and employer. The Iowa old age and survivors insurance tax rose to two percent for each on January 1, causing confusion among employers and workers. Swedlund will visit Emmetsburg’s employment service office on Wednesday morning, March 9, to field questions and assist applicants.
